I am uploading video to youtube by using their API. After the successful upload, i want to get the video id which i am unable to find. I have found this in the video_entry object as id.
<ns0:id xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/nK1Ax6320T8</ns0:id>
Here, nK1Ax6320T8 is the video id. How can i parse it in python. Kindly help.
You'll need to parse that url parameters, Python provides a good library to do that.
There's good sample code from the YouTube data API docs that does exactly what you're asking about. Checkout line 76.

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.
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'm trying to write a python script that will download a youtube video, using this line of code for getting the download url:
download_url = "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id={0}&t={1}&fmt=22&asv=2".format(video_id, token_value)
(video_id and token_values being info I've got from parsing youtube video url)
but this keeps downloading empty file.
Since this method is old, is there now some other form of getting download url for youtube videos?
I solved my problem (to some extent) in the meantime. I just had to access youtube video stream map and grab one of the URLs stored there and download the file. However, this works only on videos that don't have their signature encrypted. I'm still working on a solution for videos with encrypted signatures.
When using tweepy to collect video tweets, generally the Status object returned has an extended_entities attribute that contains media information like the direct link to the mp4 file.
It appears however that statuses with Amplify videos (amp.twimg.com) are missing this extended_entities attribute and so I am having trouble collecting the media url. They have a link to the video that is fine if you are navigating with a browser (http://amp.twimg.com/v/50bac95c-1508-40c6-a0fc-c1b26a53a3b8 for example) but this is not very useful if I just want the mp4 file.
Is there a way to collect the mp4 file from Amplify videos using tweepy? Why do these videos not have the same media information as other twitter videos?
As you can see in the official documentation, you have to opt into the extended mode via a request parameter:
"Any endpoints that return Tweets will accept a new tweet_mode request parameter. Valid request values are compat and extended, which give compatibility mode and extended mode, respectively."
So maybe you'll have better results if you explicitly pass tweet_mode='extended'. Not sure if this has been implemented in Tweepy yet. Just check the sourcecode.
