Usage

First of all to use this library, you will need an API key. To get one, see here for instructions

Basic video data fetching:

import asyncio
import ayt_api

api = ayt_api.AsyncYoutubeAPI("Your API Key")


async def video_example():
    video_data = await api.fetch_video("Video ID")
    print(video_data.id)
    print(video_data.channel_id)
    print(video_data.url)
    print(video_data.title)
    print(video_data.thumbnails.default.url)
    print(video_data.visibility)
    print(video_data.duration)
    print(video_data.view_count)
    print(video_data.like_count)
    print(video_data.embed_html)
    print(video_data.published_at)
    print(video_data.description)
    print(video_data.age_restricted)

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(video_example())

Basic playlist data fetching:

import asyncio
import ayt_api

api = ayt_api.AsyncYoutubeAPI("Your API Key")


async def playlist_example():
    playlist_data = await api.fetch_playlist("Playlist ID")
    print(playlist_data.id)
    print(playlist_data.channel_id)
    print(playlist_data.url)
    print(playlist_data.title)
    print(playlist_data.thumbnails.default.url)
    print(playlist_data.visibility)
    print(playlist_data.published_at)
    print(playlist_data.description)
    print(playlist_data.embed_html)
    print(playlist_data.item_count)

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(playlist_example())

Basic playlist video fetching:

import asyncio
import ayt_api

api = ayt_api.AsyncYoutubeAPI("Your API Key")


async def playlist_video_example():
    playlist_videos = await api.fetch_playlist_videos("Playlist ID")
    video = playlist_videos[0]
    print(video.id)
    print(video.channel_id)
    print(video.url)
    print(video.title)
    print(video.thumbnails.default.url)
    print(video.visibility)
    print(video.published_at)
    print(video.description)
    print(video.duration)

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(playlist_video_example())
