A simple and fast Python module to retrieve data from YouTube.

  - Does not use third-party dependencies and YouTube Data API.

  - Uses a pool of threads to execute asynchronously requests. 

  - Can receive data from multiple videos at once.

## Installation

Install from source:

```

$ git clone https://github.com/Fallmay/youtube.git

$ cd youtube

$ python setup.py install

```

You can also use `pip`:

```

$ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

$ pip install https://github.com/Fallmay/youtube/archive/master.tar.gz

```

## Usage

Get information about a video:

```python

import youtube

video = youtube.Video('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKIu9yen5nc')

print(video.title, video.duration, video.date, sep='\n')

# What Most Schools Don't Teach

# 05:44

# 2013-02-26

print(video.description)

# Learn about a new "superpower" that isn't being taught in 90% of US schools ...

print(video.statistics)

# {'likes': '115618', 'dislikes': '3549', 'rating': '4.88', 'views': '14134818'}

print(video.channel)

# {'title': 'Code.org', 'subscribers': '203K', ...

print(video.streams['adaptive']['audio'])

# {'140': {'bitrate': '128056', 'type': 'audio/mp4', ...

print(video.streams['adaptive']['video'])

# {'137': {'quality': '1080p', 'bitrate': '4276030', 'fps': '24', ...

print(video.streams['multiplexed'])

# {'22': {'quality': 'hd720', 'type': 'video/mp4', ...

if 'English' in video.captions:

    print(video.captions['English'])

# {'languageCode': 'en', 'url': ...

```

Serialize information about your favorite videos to a JSON formatted string:

```python

import json

import youtube

favorite = ['nKIu9yen5nc', 'n_KghQP86Sw', 'kccUxGDsMAQ', 'QQmFyybzon0',

            'U6hkOAnFJxM', 'qDbsiVWA2Ag', '6mbFO0ZLMW8']

data = youtube.load(favorite, video=True)

for _identifier, _data in data.items():

    video = youtube.Video(identifier=_identifier, data=_data)

    print(json.dumps(video.__dict__))
