Python YouTubeA Python wrapper around for YouTube Data API V3.THANKSInspired byPython-Twitter.Thanks a lot for Python-Twitter Developers.IntroductionLibrary provides an easy way to use YouTube Data API V3.Recently, we are working on the new structure for the library.Read docsto get more detail.DocumentationYou can view the latestpython-youtubedocumentation at:https://sns-sdks.github.io/python-youtube/.Also view the fullYouTube DATA APIdocs at:https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/.InstallingYou can install this lib from PyPI:pipinstall--upgradepython-youtube# ✨🍰✨UsingNow, the library covers all resource methods, includinginsert,``update`` and so on.Currently, we recommend usingpyyoutube.Clientto operate DATA API. It has more features.Work with ClientYou can just initialize with an api key:>>>frompyyoutubeimportClient>>>client=Client(api_key="your api key")If you want to get some authorization data. you need to initialize with an access token:>>>frompyyoutubeimportClient>>>client=Client(access_token='your access token')You can read the docs to see how to get an access token.Or you can ask for user to do oauth flow:>>>frompyyoutubeimportClient>>>client=Client(client_id="client key",client_secret="client secret")>>>client.get_authorize_url()('https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=id&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F&scope=scope&state=PyYouTube&access_type=offline&prompt=select_account','PyYouTube')>>>client.generate_access_token(authorization_response="link for response")AccessToken(access_token='token',expires_in=3599,token_type='Bearer')Now you can use the instance to get data from YouTube.Get channel detail:>>> cli.channels.list(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw")
ChannelListResponse(kind='youtube#channelListResponse')
>>> cli.channels.list(channel_id="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw", return_json=True)
{'kind': 'youtube#channelListResponse',
