youtube-pydantic-models

A Python library that contains the most popular YouTube models based on Pydantic. If you are working with the YouTube API, youtube-pydantic-models can help you validate, manipulate, and retrieve data. Use the YoutubeClient class to get data about channels, playlists, videos and more. The YouTube API returns data using camel case, but you can choose to return data using camel case or snake case. With the parameter by_alias=True, data is returned using camel case. When using the model, every parameter is accessed using snake case.

response = requests.get(
    "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels",
    params=params
).json()

channel = YoutubeChannelResource(**response)
