How to get information about a video?

[kanchansapkota27]

Is there a way to get information about a particular video such as likes,comments count or comments itself?

Here's an example that'll print a video's details:

from innertube import InnerTube, Client
from pprint import pprint

video_id = 'zL3wWykAKfs' # Still Woozy - Goodie Bag

ios = InnerTube(Client.IOS)

data = ios.player(video_id=video_id)

pprint(data.videoDetails)

You can get the short view count using next:

from innertube import InnerTube, Client
from pprint import pprint

video_id = 'zL3wWykAKfs' # Still Woozy - Goodie Bag

ios = InnerTube(Client.IOS)

data = ios.next(video_id=video_id)

pprint(data.playerOverlays.playerOverlayRenderer.autoplay.playerOverlayAutoplayRenderer.shortViewCountText)

Each of the different services give data in different places, for example here's the longBylineText for a video using YouTube Music:

from innertube import InnerTube, Client
from pprint import pprint

video_id = 'zL3wWykAKfs' # Still Woozy - Goodie Bag

web_remix = InnerTube(Client.WEB_REMIX)

data = web_remix.music_get_queue(video_ids=[video_id])

pprint(data.queueDatas[0].content.playlistPanelVideoRenderer.longBylineText.runs)

As for comments, unfortunately I haven't implemented this functionality as this is not a part of the InnerTube API, instead I'd recommend looking into the watch and get_video_info endpoints that YouTube exposes.

Here's some example code I wrote a while back to interact with those endpoints: https://github.com/tombulled/youtube/blob/5bf5dce4b0a9271e507d615fe05384b9d69fb3e9/youtube/operations.py#L36
