Project description

Youtube Data API

PyPI version Build status

This is a Python client for the Python Data API. It was written to accomodate v3 of the API.

Install

It is recommended to install this module by using pip:

pip install youtube-data-api

If you want to use it from source, you'll have to install the dependencies manually:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Quickstart

In order to access the API, you'll need to get a service key from the Google Cloud Console.

Once you have it you can use it to initiate the YoutubeDataApi class.

from youtube_api import YoutubeDataApi

api_key = 'AKAIXXXXXXXX'
yt = YoutubeDataApi(api_key)

yt.search('alexandria ocasio-cortez')

The yt object calls functions that automate the collection of data fields that are both visable and not-visable to everyday users.

Please refer to the documentation (forthcoming!) for details.

Testing

Static json files used for test are stored in ./tests/data. To test, command line input make test.
