I am trying to get videos using search query with youtube v3 api Search: list.
My query body is something like follows :
request = youtube.search().list(
part="snippet",
maxResults=40,
q="Cat work york"
)
But the problem is, it returns live videos among other regular videos. I dont want live videos to be returned, how can I do that ? please help me here.
Thanks
Try this https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list with the following filters:
part="snippet",
q="/-Live",
safeSearch="strict",
type="video
I think you should try passing this parameter :
broadcastStatus="completed"
Here is the reference :
https://developers-dot-devsite-v2-prod.appspot.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveBroadcasts/list#parameters
I tried with this request and I got no live videos - without need of additional filters:
URL:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=10&q=Cat%20work%20york&type=video&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]
And these are the results of the first page:

If you still got "live videos", add the videoDuration=medium filter in the URL request.

I just downloaded some json from spotify and took a look into the pd.normalize_json().
But if I normalise the data i still have dictionaries within my dataframe. Also setting the level doesnt help.
DATA I want to have in my dataframe:

So what are best practices to read nested data like this into one dataframe in pandas?
I'm glad for any advice.
EDIT:
so basically I want all keys as columns in my dataframe. But with normalise it stops at "tracks.items" and if I normalise this again i have the recursive problem again.
It depends on the information you are looking for. Take a look at pandas.read_json() to see if that can work. Also you can select data as such
json_output = {"collaborative": 'false',"description": "", "external_urls": {"spotify": "https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5"}}
df['collaborative'] = json_output['collaborative'] #set value of your df to value of returned json values
I'm trying to get and store the videos from a youtube playlist into an list in python. I followed the instructions in the docs https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/list but it cant seem to retrieve the video ID.
def list_playlist_localizations(youtube, playlist_id):
results = youtube.playlists().list(
part='snippet, contentDetails', id=playlist_id, maxResults=5
).execute()
#print results
for playlist_item in results['items']:
title = playlist_item['snippet']['title']
video_id = playlist_item['snippet']['resourceId']['videoId']
print video_id
EDIT:
from hyper import HTTPConnection
import random
import requests
playlist_id = "PLx0sYbCqOb8TBPRdmBHs5Iftvv9TPboYG"
links = []
token = '' # to get ID to next page CDIQAA
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14173428/how-to-change-page-results-with-youtube-data-api-v3 - reference
s = requests.Session()
r = s.get('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&maxResults=50&playlistId=' + playlist_id + '&key={MY_KEY}')
data = r.json()
while 'nextPageToken' in data and len(data) < 200:
token = data['nextPageToken']
r = s.get('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?pageToken='
+ token +
'&part=snippet&maxResults=50&playlistId='
+ playlist_id +
'&key=AIzaSyAglPb2-eVaoy1muXclkUrfPFtdYEaUcCw')
data = r.json()
for items in data['items']:
links.append('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + items['snippet']['resourceId']['videoId'])
r = s.get('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&maxResults=50&playlistId=' + playlist_id + '&key={MY_KEY}')
data = r.json()
# Add the remaining links
for items in data['items']:
links.append('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + items['snippet']['resourceId']['videoId'])
'''
for items in links:
print items
'''
print "num items: " + str(len(links))
print "Random link: "
print links[random.randint(0, len(links) - 1)]
This is my implementation to generate random youtube links from a playlist
You can get the data use html requests
And you will get the playlist as JSON data
For example
import requests,json
key = 'YOUR API KEY'
playlistid = 'PLBCF2DAC6FFB574DE'
data = json.loads(requests.get('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId={}&key={}'.format(playlistid,key)).text)
print(data)
the resoult will be

I downloaded the Spotify App on my Windows 10 and installed. So I had the ideia of make a software that need to get the music that is running at the moment. Is it possible to get It? It os not necessary the code. I just want to know where to start, because I did not find anything about It. I would rather do It using python.
You can use the Get the User's Currently Playing Track endpoint, documented here: https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-the-users-currently-playing-track/
The endpoint will return JSON that includes information about the track, for example:

I'm working on a Python script that can download images from Flickr, among other sites. I use the Flickr API to pull the various sizes of the image I'm trying to download and identify the URL for the original size. Well, that's what I'm trying to do. Here's my code so far...
URL = {a Flickr link}
flickr = re.match(r".*flickr\.com\/photos\/([^\/]+)\/([0-9^\/]+)\/", URL)
URL = "https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.getSizes&api_key=6002c84e96ff95c1a861eafafa4284ba&photo_id=" + flickr.group(2) + "&format=json&nojsoncallback=1"
request = requests.get(URL)
result = request.text
parsed = re.match(r".\"Original\".*\"source\"\: \"([^\"]+)", result)
URL = parsed.group(1)
Using print() statements throughout my code, I know that the first regular expression (to parse the original Flickr URL to identify the photo ID) works properly, and that the API request works properly, returning the following result (using the example URL https://www.flickr.com/photos/matbellphotography/33413612735/sizes/h/)...

My code apparently breaks down after that. The second regular expression, intended to identify the download URL of the image at its original filesize, apparently doesn't find any matches. According to yet another print() statement...
parsed.group(1) = none
I setup the expression using RegExr, which identified exactly what I needed from the JSON result. What have I done wrong?
Maybe your requests.Response object has a json attribute that you can access directly. If not, simply import json, parse your request.content and work with the returned dictionary. Example:
>>> import json
>>> json_response = """

So I m looking to iterate over each post individually and extract the tags, id, and the image urls. I m having some trouble, (since I m a PHP developer and finding it really hard to work with Python as a beginner).
Here's the code that I m using to iterate over each post and process the attributes provided. I dont want to store them in a list or dict. Just want to search through the tags.
(this is just a attempted code since I couldnt find which loop should I use)
info= simplejson.load(info)
print type(info['data']) # I get it as a list
for k, v in info['data']:
print v
I could have done this easily using php with a foreach :
foreach($info->data as $i) {
$tags = $i->tags();
$id = $i->id();
}
If info['data'] is a list, you should be able to iterate over it like so:
for post in info['data']:
tags = post['tags']
id = post['id']
image_urls = [] # An empty list -- we'll fill it below
for img_type in ['low_resolution', 'thumbnail', 'standard_resolution']:
image_urls.append(post['images'][img_type]['url'])
# Now image_urls has all the image urls in it
I think the part that's rather different from PHP is that where the key is "tags" in the JSON structure, you have to use the string "tags" in Python, whereas you would use the literal tags() in PHP.
