Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be getting the likes,views and title of the youtube video using data api v3 in tkinter using python. All the full source code of the application is shown below.
Get Started
Now we need to install the below library using the pip command as show below
pip install googleapis
In order to get started you need to make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
app.py

# Import Module from tkinter import * from googleapiclient.discovery import build # Create Object root = Tk() # Set Geometry root.geometry("500x300") # Add Label, Entry Box and Button Label(root,text="Title, Views, Likes of YouTube Video", fg="blue", font=("Helvetica 20 bold"),relief="solid",bg="white").pack(pady=10) Label(root,text="Enter video URL or ID", font=("10")).pack() video_url = Entry(root,width=40,font=("15")) video_url.pack(pady=10) Button(root,text="Get Details" ,font=("Helvetica 15 bold"),command=video_details).pack() details = Label(root,text="") details.pack(pady=10) # Execute Tkinter root.mainloop() |
As you can see we have defined the widgets on the screen where we have the input field where we allow the user to enter the youtube video url and then we have the button to submit the form. And on the button onclick event we have defined the method called video_details() method. Inside this method we will calling the youtube data api to fetch the information and display it inside the tkinter app
Now we need to define the video_details() function as shown below

def video_details(): if "youtube" in video_url.get(): video_id = video_url.get()[len("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v="):] else: video_id = video_url.get() # creating youtube resource object youtube = build('youtube','v3',developerKey='AIzaSyBRLUapy2zEFIx9AmbaHeulBnnaJr-W4Io') # retrieve youtube video results video_request=youtube.videos().list( part='snippet,statistics', id=video_id ) video_response = video_request.execute() title = video_response['items'][0]['snippet']['title'] likes = video_response['items'][0]['statistics']['likeCount'] views = video_response['items'][0]['statistics']['viewCount'] details.config(text=f"Title:- {title}nLikes:- {likes}nViews:- {views}") |
And inside the above code we are getting the value of the input field using the get() method. And then we are using the google apis build() method in which we will be providing the api_key. And after that we are using the list() method to retrieve the video meta information and inside this method we are passing the video_id. And then we are displaying the title,viewcount and likes of the video as shown below
