youtube-title-parse 1.0.0

Parse the title of a YouTube video to try and get artist & song name

youtube title parse

Parse the title of a YouTube video to try and get artist & song name.

Description

Video titles on YouTube follow no strict format, and so passing the titles directly to music APIs to fetch metadata hardly works. This module attempts to recognize common patterns (using regex) and extract artist and song name.

Installation

To install youtube_title_parse, simply use pipenv (or pip, of course):

pipenv install youtube_title_parse

Usage

CLI

youtube_title_parse comes with a CLI that you can use directly:

$ youtube_title_parse "Seoul - Stay With Us (Official Video)"
Seoul - Stay With Us

Module

You can also import youtube_title_parse as a module.

from youtube_title_parse import get_artist_title

artist, title = get_artist_title("Seoul - Stay With Us (Official Video)")
assert artist == "Seoul"
assert title == "Stay With Us"

Credits

This module is originally a Python3 rewrite of the equivalent npm library, get-artist-title, but adds some extra functionality to catch more patterns.
