Asynchronous Youtube Service Object

Use AioYoutubeService object for asynchronous tasks. You can pass your api key on dev_key param when building the object or just set your api key on environment and AioYoutubeService object will automatically get it for you.

# will automatically search and get your api key from environment.
ayt = AioYoutubeService()

# you can also pass it on dev_key param.
ayt = AioYoutubeService(dev_key='replace me')

Asynchronous Search

params:

q, string. Search key. default: empty string.
part, string. Valid parts: snippet, contentDetails, player, statistics, status. default: snippet.
type, string. Valid types: video, playlist, channel.

Example Search method

  ayt = AioYoutubeService()
  # test search
  results = await ayt.search(q="kpop song", search_type="video", max_results=3)
  print(results['items'][0])

Example Asynchronous

async def main():
  ayt = AioYoutubeService()

  # test search
  results = await ayt.search(q="super junior blacksuit", search_type="video", max_results=3)
  print(results['items'][0])

  # test get_playlist
  results = await ayt.get_playlist(max_results=10, playlist_id="PL6GZjIxGO0cOBYqybD7-nNiA-vjF09wpC")
  for item in results['items']:
      print(item['snippet']['title'], item['snippet']['resourceId']['videoId'])

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
