Adding the title of the video in the metadata
This request comes from the necessity to orderly save the transcribed file with a relevant and recognizable name. This addition should contribute to the API involvement in complex apps where you could for instance transcribe and save a batch of videos in an orderly manner.
I would like to have the metadata of the transcription include the title of the video as well.
The alternative is to fetch a YouTube Data API Key through Google Developers Console and use a different dedicated module to request it, which seems a bit and pardon my wording: "overkill."
In my case I'm trying to efficiently save and label video transcriptions file by minimizing the amount of time I have to manually interact with the code. In my case for every video I have to manually change the file name with the title of the video.
Thank you for reading my request.
I concur - and at the occasion thank you authors for this very useful API. @santaCruz1854789 rather than taking the pain of going through the Google API, you can use beautifulsoup:
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "html.parser")
link = soup.find_all(name="title")[0]
video_title = link.text
Hi all!
Just a quick update on this: with the introduction of v1.0.0 I've refactored some things under the hood, which will allow me to access metadata like the video's title more easily. I will try to create a new release soon which will make this information accessible through the Transcript and FetchedTranscript objects!
It would be ideal to include other things as well, if possible, such as:
- shortDescription
- thumbnails
- title
- Other JSON attributes from metadata?
@mohamedelhosseiny No updates here unfortunately. Maintaining has been taking up a lot of time recently, so I have been struggling to find time to add new features!
