It provides two interfaces: a modern Client class and a legacy Api class for backward compatibility. Both support initialization via API key, access token, or OAuth flow, and expose methods to query and manipulate YouTube resources.\n\nThe library depends on requests for HTTP calls, requests-oauthlib for OAuth handling, dataclasses-json for response serialization, and isodate for timestamp parsing. It targets Python 3.9 and later and supports both CPython and PyPy. The package is actively maintained with no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and provides a clean interface to the YouTube Data API V3. Install it if you need programmatic access to YouTube data or want to automate YouTube operations."},"id":"python-youtube","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-youtube","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-youtube.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-youtube/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-youtube","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python wrapper around for YouTube Data API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":492004,"position":6362,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.9"}
