Look at
web-scraping part-2 and search forum there is a lot info about this.

Can use
YouTube API directly with
Requests.
This is the same as would enter a
python in the search-box on youtube.com.
import requests
api_key = 'xxxyour-keyxxx'
search = 'python'
how_many_hit = 10
response = requests.get(f'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet\
&maxResults={how_many_hit}&q={search}&type=video&key={api_key}')
hits = response.json()
print(hits['items'][0]['snippet']['title'])
print(hits['items'][0]['snippet']['channelId'])Output:

Why does this only print a single result when
how_many_hit = 10?

All 10 search hit is in
hits = response.json()
I did choose to take out first search hit as a demo,could of course have written a loop that printed out those values i wanted from all 10 hit.

I'm confused on the syntax when putting this into a loop. I can create a loop just fine but the list index
[0] is confusing me (probably because this is my first time working with json). Changing the index works to target a single search result but I'm unsure how to modify the syntax of the print statement to make it loop over the entire json instead of just a single index number.

Back from
.json() we are getting a Python dictionary,this usually contain both dictionaries and lists when coming from JSON.
So
[0] is used when access a element in that list.
Using a loop then index assess can go away,as now looping over all items.
import requests
api_key = 'xxxxxx'
search = 'python'
how_many_hit = 10
response = requests.get(f'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet\
&maxResults={how_many_hit}&q={search}&type=video&key={api_key}')
hits = response.json()
for hit in hits['items']:
print(hit['snippet']['title'])Output:

That makes sense. I tried removing the index but kept
['items'] in the print statement. Thank you so much for your help!
