   Get your Groq API key

2. Once you have your API key, set it as an environment variable:

export FYS_GROQ="YOUR_API_KEY"

Basic Usage in Python

After setting up, you can use Faster YouTube Summary in your Python project with the following code:

from fasteryoutubesummary import get_video_summary
import os

url = input("Enter the URL of the YouTube video: ")
api_key = os.environ.get("FYS_GROQ")
summary = get_video_summary(url, api_key, return_summary_only=False)

print(summary)

Programmatic Options:

• url and api_key are required parameters.
• return_summary_only: If True, returns only the summary text (default: True). If False, it generates a website summary.

To receive the summary as plain text only:

from fasteryoutubesummary import get_video_summary
import os  

url = input("Enter the URL of the YouTube video: ")
api_key = os.environ.get("FYS_GROQ")
summary = get_video_summary(url, api_key, return_summary_only=True)

print(summary)

FASTER Mode

Although the default model is optimized for accuracy, Faster YouTube Summary provides an optional FASTER mode for speed optimization:

fys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-2ybJPgtjA --f

In this mode, summaries are generated faster, though with slightly reduced accuracy.
