About

Python module for searching youtube videos to avoid using their heavily rate-limited API.

To avoid using the API, this uses the form on the youtube homepage and scrapes the resulting page.

Installation

The release on pypi.org is still on v2.1.2. (Not maintained?)

1. Clone this repo

   git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/XniceCraft/youtube_search

2. Install with setup.py

   cd youtube_search
   python3 setup.py install

Quick Usage

import asyncio
import youtube_search

# Synchronous version
with youtube_search.YoutubeSearch() as ytsearch:
    ytsearch.search("test")
    result = ytsearch.list()

#Asynchronous Version
async def search_async():
    async with youtube_search.AsyncYoutubeSearch() as ytsearch:
        await ytsearch.search("test")
        result = ytsearch.list()
asyncio.run(search_async())
