+ # YTAPI Python client
22
+
23
+ Python client for [YTAPI](https://ytapi.dev?utm_source=github): YouTube transcripts, video details, search, channels and playlists over one HTTP API. It works from servers and cloud functions, where fetching YouTube directly tends to get blocked.
24
+
25
+ - No dependencies beyond the standard library. Python 3.10+.
26
+ - Typed responses (`TypedDict`), typed errors, automatic retries and pagination.
27
+ - Reference: [docs.ytapi.dev](https://docs.ytapi.dev).
28
+
29
+ ## Install
30
+
31
+ ```bash
32
+ pip install ytapi-sdk
33
+ ```
34
+
35
+ The package is `ytapi-sdk` on PyPI, and you import it as `ytapi`.
36
+
37
+ ## Quickstart
38
+
39
+ Get a key at [ytapi.dev](https://ytapi.dev/app/api-keys?utm_source=github). New accounts get 200 free credits, and no card is needed.
40
+
41
+ ```python
42
+ from ytapi import YTAPI
43
+
44
+ api = YTAPI() # reads YTAPI_API_KEY (or YTAPI_KEY) from the environment
45
+ transcript = api.get_transcript("dQw4w9WgXcQ")
46
+ for segment in transcript["segments"][:3]:
47
+ print(segment["start"], segment["text"])
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ By default you get the captions in the video's own language, as timed segments. A successful request uses 1 credit, and errors are free.
51
+
52
+ ## Examples
53
+
54
+ ```python
55
+ # Other formats. markdown, text, srt and vtt come back as a string.
56
+ srt = api.get_transcript("dQw4w9WgXcQ", format="srt")
57
+ spanish = api.get_transcript("dQw4w9WgXcQ", format="text", languages=["es", "*"])
58
+ words = api.get_transcript("dQw4w9WgXcQ", format="word_timestamps", word_level=True)
59
+
60
+ # Free: title, length, channel and the caption languages a video has.
61
+ basic = api.get_basic_info("dQw4w9WgXcQ")
62
+ # 1 credit: description, counts, chapters and more.
63
+ info = api.get_video_info("dQw4w9WgXcQ")
64
+
65
+ # Channels take an @handle, a channel ID (UC...) or a URL.
66
+ channel = api.get_channel("@3blue1brown")
67
+ for video in api.iter_channel_videos("@3blue1brown", sort_by="popular"):
68
+ print(video["video_id"], video["title"])
69
+
70
+ # Playlists, page by page or as an iterator.
71
+ for video in api.iter_playlist_videos("PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_67000Dx_ZCJB-3pi"):
72
+ print(video["video_id"], video["length_text"])
73
+
74
+ # Search: type is video, channel, playlist, shorts or movie.
75
+ page = api.search("rust async", type="video", upload_date="month", limit=10)
76
+ for hit in page["items"]:
77
+ print(hit["title"])
78
+
79
+ # Search suggestions are free.
80
+ print(api.get_suggestions("nextjs")["suggestions"])
81
+
82
+ # Batch: up to 100 transcript or basic_info tasks per job.
83
+ job = api.create_batch(
84
+ [
85
+ {"id": "a", "type": "transcript", "video_id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ", "format": "text"},
86
+ {"id": "b", "type": "basic_info", "video_id": "jNQXAC9IVRw"},
87
+ ]
88
+ )
89
+ done = api.poll_batch(job["id"], timeout=120)
90
+ print(done["successful"], done["credits_deducted"])
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ The iterators (`iter_playlist_videos`, `iter_channel_videos`, `iter_channel_playlists`, `iter_search`) follow `next_cursor` for you. Each page is a request and uses a credit. In a batch, each successful task uses 1 credit and failed tasks are free.
94
+
95
+ ## Errors
96
+
97
+ ```python
98
+ from ytapi import InsufficientCreditsError, NotFoundError, RateLimitedError, YTAPIError
99
+
100
+ try:
101
+ api.get_transcript("xxxxxxxxxxx")
102
+ except NotFoundError as exc:
103
+ print(exc.code) # captions_disabled, language_not_found, video_unavailable, ...
104
+ except RateLimitedError as exc:
105
+ print(exc.code, exc.retry_after) # rate_limited or daily_limit_exceeded
106
+ except InsufficientCreditsError:
107
+ print("Out of credits: https://ytapi.dev/#pricing")
108
+ except YTAPIError as exc:
109
+ print(exc.status, exc.code, exc) # status 0 means a network error
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ | Status | Exception |
113
+ | --- | --- |
114
+ | 401 | `AuthError` |
115
+ | 402 | `InsufficientCreditsError` |
116
+ | 404 | `NotFoundError` |
117
+ | 429 | `RateLimitedError` |
118
+ | 5xx | `ServerError` |
119
+ | network error | `YTAPIError` with `status` 0 |
120
+ | other | `YTAPIError` |
121
+
122
+ ## Retries
123
+
124
+ The client retries a 429, a 5xx or a network error up to `max_retries` times (default 2). It backs off from 0.5 seconds, doubling up to 8, and waits longer when the server sends `Retry-After`. A few cases are not retried:
125
+
126
+ - **A 429 that asks for a long wait.** The cutoff is `max_retry_wait`, default 60 seconds. This includes a free account's daily limit (`daily_limit_exceeded`), which lasts until 00:00 UTC. The client raises these right away instead of hanging your program.
127
+ - **Creating a batch after a 5xx or a network error.** The job may already exist, so a retry could start a second one.
128
+
129
+ Use `YTAPI(max_retries=0)` to turn retries off.
130
+
131
+ ## Releases
132
+
133
+ Each GitHub release publishes the matching version to [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/ytapi-sdk/) through trusted publishing. The release tag must match the version in `pyproject.toml`, such as `v0.1.0`.
134
+
135
+ ## Tests
136
+
137
+ ```bash
138
+ PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ The tests mock HTTP and need no network or API key.
