yt2tsv

Purpose

I wanted to write something in Hylang because straight Python is not my thing.

Install

Get yt2tsv and cd into it

git clone https://github.com/bandresen/yt2tsv.git
cd yt2tsv

Create and activate Hylang virtual environment

virtualenv hy # maybe called virtualenv2 YMMV
source hy/bin/activate
pip install git+https://github.com/hylang/hy.git

Get dependency

pip install google-api-python-client

Get YouTube Data API v3 access and edit yt2tsv.hy to set DEVELOPER-KEY

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started

Run it with –ids (comma-separated list) and –output (filename, “output.tsv” by default)

./yt2tsv.hy --ids W2Wnvvj33Wo --output thelastofuspart2.tsv

Missing features and limitations

--input that accepts a file with a list of youtube links without having to manually give the –id

--id has an unknown limit, higher than 30 lower than 60. (I guess 50 as that is a standard Google API maxResults limitation.)
