TLDW (Too Long; Didn't Watch)

A Python package that instantly summarizes YouTube videos using AI. Get the key points from any video without watching it!

✨ Features

• 🎥 YouTube Video Summarization: Extract transcripts and generate concise summaries
• 🤖 OpenAI GPT Integration: Powered by GPT-4o-mini for high-quality summaries
• 🎨 Beautiful CLI Output: Colorized terminal output with ASCII art
• 🔄 Streaming Response: Real-time summary generation
• 🐍 Simple Python API: Easy to integrate into your projects

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• OpenAI API key (Get one here)

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install tldw

From source:

git clone [e-mail]:DavidZirinsky/tl-dw.git
cd tl-dw/
python3 -m pip install .

Usage

from tldw import tldw
import os

# Initialize with your OpenAI API key
summary = tldw(os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'))

# Summarize a YouTube video
summary.summarize('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCEmiRjPEtQ')

Using a Proxy

If you need to use a proxy to fetch the YouTube transcript, you can pass a proxies dictionary. This is useful for environments with network restrictions.

from tldw import tldw
import os

# Your proxy URL
proxy_url = "http://user:pass@host:port"

# Initialize with proxy settings
summary = tldw(
    os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY'),
    proxies={'http': proxy_url, 'https': proxy_url}
)

# Summarize a YouTube video through the proxy
summary.summarize('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCEmiRjPEtQ')

Note: The proxy is only used for fetching the YouTube transcript, not for requests to the OpenAI API.

--- Summary ---

In his talk, Andre Carpathy, former director of AI at Tesla, discusses the evolving
nature of software in the era of AI, particularly emphasizing the transition from
traditional coding (Software 1.0) to an AI-driven paradigm (Software 2.0 and 3.0).
He categorizes Software 1.0 as conventional code that directly instructs computers,
while Software 2.0 encompasses neural networks where the focus is on tuning data
sets instead of writing explicit code. He introduces Software 3.0, which involves
large language models (LLMs) that can be prompted in natural language, making
programming more accessible to non-coders.

❓ Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"OpenAI API key is required" Error

• Make sure your OpenAI API key is set in the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY
• Verify your API key is valid and has sufficient credits

"Invalid YouTube URL provided" Error

• Ensure the URL is a valid YouTube video URL
• Supported formats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID or https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

"Failed to get transcript" Error

• The video may not have English captions/transcripts available
• Some videos may have restricted access to transcripts
• Try with a different video that has confirmed English captions
• If you are behind a firewall, you may need to use a proxy (see Using a Proxy section)

API Rate Limiting

• If you encounter rate limiting, wait a few moments before trying again
• Consider upgrading your OpenAI API plan for higher rate limits

🛠️ Development Setup

1. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -e .
   

2. Then Run This With:

   python3 src/tldw/tldw.py
   

🧪 Running Tests

To run the tests:

Locally:

pytest

You can also run tests in the Docker container, mimicking a PyPI wheel distribution installation.

docker compose down && docker compose up -d --build && docker logs tests -f

🤝 Pre-commit Hooks

This project uses pre-commit hooks to ensure code quality and consistency before commits.

1. Install pre-commit: If you don't have pre-commit installed globally, you can install it into your virtual environment:

   pip install pre-commit
   

2. Install the Git hooks: Navigate to the root of the repository and run:

   pre-commit install
   

   This command sets up the hooks in your .git/ directory.

3. Run hooks manually (optional): To run all configured hooks against all files, without making a commit:

   pre-commit run --all-files
   

Now, every time you try to commit, the pre-commit hooks will automatically run. If any hook fails, the commit will be aborted, allowing you to fix the issues before committing.
