Alternatively you can clone the repo, and run "Usage Example.py"

Usage

Search for Videos
from youtubesearchpython import SearchVideos

search = SearchVideos("NoCopyrightSounds", offset = 1, mode = "json", max_results = 20)

print(search.result())

search = SearchPlaylists("NoCopyrightSounds", offset = 1, mode = "json", max_results = 20)

print(search.result())

Like the module?

Consider starring the repository. Feel free to use.

It takes a lot of time to deal with the changes that YouTube makes time to time.

Feel free to open issue, in case you find one.

Current Progress

Currently search result returns:

  • Video Link
  • Video Title
  • Channel Name
  • Video Duration
  • Video View Count
  • Video ID
  • Video Thumbnails

(Nearly everything that YouTube offers in its search result page.)
