Socialblade API wrapper
=======================

Socialblade API wrapper.

Examples
--------

Live YouTube subscriber count
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prints PewDiePie's subscriber count in real time.

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import YouTubeChannel


   pewdiepie_channel = YouTubeChannel('UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw')

   for sub in pewdiepie_channel.live_subscriber_count_generator():
       print(sub)

You could also just get the subscriber count as it is at the time, like
this:

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import YouTubeChannel


   pewdiepie_channel = YouTubeChannel('UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw')

   print(pewdiepie_channel.get_subscriber_count())

Export a Channel's Most Viewed Videos Statistics to CSV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In this example we are exporting statistics about PewDiePie's most
viewed videos to CSV.

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import YouTubeChannel
   import csv
   from datetime import datetime
   import locale


   locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')


   def create_more_readable_ints(integer):
       return locale.currency(integer, symbol=False, grouping=True).replace('.00', '').replace(',', "'")


   pewdiepie_channel = YouTubeChannel('UC-lHJZR3Gqxm24_Vd_AJ5Yw')

   writer = csv.writer(
       open(
           'PewDiePie Most Viewed Videos {}.csv'.format(str(datetime.now().date())),
           'w',
           newline='',
           encoding='utf-8'
       )
   )
   writer.writerow(
       ['Channel', 'Title', 'Created at', 'Views', 'Comments']
   )
   for video in pewdiepie_channel.get_most_viewed_videos():
       writer.writerow(
           [
               'PewDiePie',
               video.title,
               str(video.created_at),
               create_more_readable_ints(video.views_num),
               create_more_readable_ints(video.comments_num)
           ]
       )

You could do the same thing to any channel. You could also export
different types of statistics about videos, which I will list the
functions for them here:

-  socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_latest_videos()
-  socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_most_viewed_videos()
-  socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_highest_rated_videos()
-  socialblade.YouTubeChannel(channel_id).get_most_relevant_videos()

Get live Twitter follower count
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Twitter functionality is limited in this wrapper to retrieving
follower counts. You could get a Twitter user's live follower count
similer to how you get a youtuber's live follower count:

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import TwitterUser


   donald_trump_twitter = TwitterUser('realdonaldtrump')

   for follower in donald_trump_twitter.live_follower_count_generator(request_delay=500):
       print(follower)

You could also get the follower count as it is at the moment, like so:

::

   from socialblade import TwitterUser


   donald_trump_twitter = TwitterUser('realdonaldtrump')

   print(donald_trump_twitter.get_follower_count())

Get live Twitch and StoryFire follower counts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like Twitter, Twitch and StoryFire functionality is also limited to
retrieving follower counts. You could compare the follower counts of a
user's multiple platforms, whether that be Twitch and Twitter...:

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import TwitterUser, TwitchUser


   user = 'michaelreeves'

   reeves_twitter = TwitterUser(user)
   reeves_twitch = TwitchUser(user)

   twitter_followers = reeves_twitter.get_follower_count()
   twitch_followers = reeves_twitch.get_follower_count()

   if twitter_followers > twitch_followers:
       print(f"{user} has {twitter_followers - twitch_followers} more followers on Twitch than on Twitter.")
   else:
       print(f"{user} has {twitch_followers - twitter_followers} more followers on Twitter than on Twitch.")

...or StoryFire and YouTube:

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import YouTubeChannel, StoryFireUser


   rgt_youtube = YouTubeChannel('UCA5RGaQc-a8tIX_AqTTmWdw')
   rgt_storyfire = StoryFireUser('1fozx1kcs0tuj3')

   for sf_subscribers in rgt_storyfire.live_subscriber_count_generator():
       for yt_subscribers in rgt_youtube.live_subscriber_count_generator():
           print(f"{yt_subscribers} on YouTube vs {sf_subscribers} on StoryFire.")
.. _get-live-dailymotion-follower-counts:

Get live Dailymotion follower counts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: python

   from socialblade import DailymotionUser
   newsy = DailymotionUser('newsy')
   print(newsy.get_follower_count())
   for follower in newsy.live_follower_count_generator(request_delay=500):
       print(follower)
