# YouTube Complete API
This Python package provides a unified interface for the YouTube Data API and YouTube Transcript API, allowing easy access to both video details and transcripts with a single package.
## Features
- Retrieve video details including title, description, views, and likes.
- Fetch video transcripts, including automatically generated and translated versions.
## Installation
To install this package, run the following command in your terminal:
```bash
pip install youtube-complete-api
Make sure you have Python 3.6 or higher installed on your system.
Getting Started
Before you can use the YouTube APIs, you'll need to obtain an API key from Google Developers Console.
Usage Example
Here's a quick example to get you started:
from youtube_complete_api import YouTubeClient
client = YouTubeClient(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')
video_details = client.get_video_details('VIDEO_ID')
print(video_details)
transcript = client.get_transcript('VIDEO_ID')
print(transcript)
Replace 'YOUR_API_KEY'
with your actual YouTube API key and 'VIDEO_ID'
with the ID of the YouTube video you want to query.
Documentation
For more detailed information about the API functionalities, please refer to the YouTube Data API and YouTube Transcript API documentation pages.
