How to get the moods and genres located in https://music.youtube.com/moods_and_genres

[YashMakan]

I am looking for a way to get the moods and genres. How can I do that?

[impliedchaos]

Something like this works:

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
from ytmusicapi.parsers.utils import (nav, NAVIGATION_BROWSE_ID, SECTION_LIST, SINGLE_COLUMN_TAB, TITLE_TEXT)

ytm = YTMusic('auth.json')

# Get moods and genre categories.
response = ytm._send_request("browse", {"browseId": "FEmusic_moods_and_genres"})
moods = {}
for sect in nav(response, SINGLE_COLUMN_TAB + SECTION_LIST):
    for cat in nav(sect, ["gridRenderer", "items"]):
        title = nav(cat, ["musicNavigationButtonRenderer", "buttonText", "runs", 0, "text"]).strip()
        endpnt = nav(cat, ["musicNavigationButtonRenderer", "clickCommand", "browseEndpoint", "browseId"])
        params = nav(cat, ["musicNavigationButtonRenderer", "clickCommand", "browseEndpoint", "params"])
        moods[title] = {"name": title, "params": params, "endpoint": endpnt}

# Print the list of categories.
for m in moods.keys():
    print(m)

# Get playlists from "Focus"
mood = "Focus"
response = ytm._send_request("browse", {"browseId": moods[mood]["endpoint"], "params": moods[mood]["params"]})
for sect in nav(response, SINGLE_COLUMN_TAB + SECTION_LIST):
    key = []
    if "gridRenderer" in sect:
        key = ["gridRenderer", "items"]
    elif "musicCarouselShelfRenderer" in sect:
        key = ["musicCarouselShelfRenderer", "contents"]
    elif "musicImmersiveCarouselShelfRenderer" in sect:
        key = ["musicImmersiveCarouselShelfRenderer", "contents"]
    if len(key):
        for item in nav(sect, key):
            title = nav(item, ["musicTwoRowItemRenderer"] + TITLE_TEXT).strip()
            brId = nav(item, ["musicTwoRowItemRenderer"] + NAVIGATION_BROWSE_ID)
            print("Playlist Title: " + title + " - Playlist ID: " + brId)

Probably better off using find_object_by_key instead of nav all the time, but it's just an example.

I've thought about it but didn't find the time to implement it. Very open toward a PR for this

Thanks, it is working...
