I want to extract and display Youtube search results for a query to the user.
In that process, I have completed fetching the Youtube link and also extracted the title from the link.
Nevertheless I also want the thumbnail of that link displayed, same as that displayed in Youtube suggestions section.
For a question like this, I'd recommend using the site:youtube.com Google Images search, and just have a look at one or two thumbnails. I believe the below should work in all cases, though you'd need to test on different types of videos.
If the video URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx
The thumbnail URL is https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xxxxxxxxxxxx/maxresdefault.jpg

I've been looking for a method to extract details from a YouTube clip when only knowing the clip URL within a python script. I specifically need the original channel name.
The YouTube API does not seem to include any method to do so, only to extract details from a known video ID.
For example, this clip: https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxnEqNDtOHMOOoS5TyJFr2QOjdKbaTOTlW, with the ID UgkxnEqNDtOHMOOoS5TyJFr2QOjdKbaTOTlW is from this video https://youtu.be/z-e2bDx7tUA, with the ID z-e2bDx7tUA.
z-e2bDx7tUA is searchable with the API, but UgkxnEqNDtOHMOOoS5TyJFr2QOjdKbaTOTlW is not.
Even if there's a more roundabout method, such as getting the clip ID, then getting the video ID and then being able to use that within the API would work. But I've not found an efficient way of doing so, including web scraping.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One more time YouTube Data API v3 doesn't provide a basic feature.
I recommend you to use my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by using https://yt.lemnoslife.com/videos?part=id&clipId=CLIP_ID you'll get in item['videoId'] the video id associated with the clip.
For example the CLIP_ID UgkxfiAGoXJYA02_JdIzA3k3pvqpLNm90DBx is extracted from the videoId 9bZkp7q19f0.
I am working on a Python project to scrap videos from Instagram using Selenium and request.
I am following the following link but it seems Instagram changed its settings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DCtaJvf6VA&list=PLEsfXFp6DpzQjDBvhNy5YbaBx9j-ZsUe6&index=17&ab_channel=CodingEntrepreneurs
However, after I get a link of Instagram video, it's like this:
blob:https://www.instagram.com/4ddaf674-312a-4366-ad12-136bda7b6c8e
Hence, I cannot download the video. And I have looked at similar posts and they can find m3u8 or .ts in the Inspection. However, I cannot find any of them. Could anyone help?
My Question is about YouTube thumbnails and endscreens
We are trying to automate publishing of content for YouTube channels. Can thumbnail be automatically set for the given episode with details such as show logo, episode number from the content.
Looking for API to support the automation.
Can somebody please help?
There's the following API endpoint that permits you to set the thumbnail of your videos (thus, of your broadcasts too): Thumbnails.set.
For what concerns Python, I'd recommend to read, understand and use the public sample code from Google: upload_thumbnail.py.
Note that in case you need uploading a thumbnail for a broadcast, then simply use that broadcast's ID as the parameter videoId that you'll pass to the Thumbnails.set API endpoint call.
I was watching a movie on hotstar and decided to download that movie. I will use Python to do that. But for that I need the video URL. I inspected the page and came to know that it has segmented streaming file.
The requested URL that I have highlighted in the picture is:
https://hses1.hotstar.com/videos/movies/bengali/sweater/1260011260/1569583501995/ad1f5bdbac36f489da1adb7f077be226/video/avc1/3/seg-1306.m4s
It has a .m4s extension. How to read that file? Or how to work with it using Python?
USE IDM to download movie, or you can scrape bit there must be m3u8 link as well which might be not in use as of now
I would like to download the videos embedded in a set of URL's from the Google Ad Transparency report. Here's a sample page where the video is a YouTube link:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/political-ads/advertiser/AR113835462480625664/creative/CR525481620803682304
And here's a sample page where the video is hosted by google and the video file can be directly downloaded:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/political-ads/advertiser/AR528016269983612928/creative/CR221377870159675392
In both cases, regular browsers (Chrome, Firefox) let me copy the YouTube link URL (top example) or download the linked video file (bottom example).
However, I cannot locate these links in the page source. Can anyone tell me how to locate them, or how one would write a script that would locate the correct tags and grab the video files (or YouTube links)? Is this a dynamic content problem?
You could reach it by the transparencryreport API
For example, the page you attached is getting the video content from the following page:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/transparencyreport/api/v3/politicalads/creatives/details?entity_id=AR528016269983612928&creative_id=CR221377870159675392
