Some Fun Python APIs + Modules

Ranging from image processing to retrieving posts on Reddit

---

Image Processing

Using the Moviepy and PIL modules, I wrote some functions to overlay videos on images, images on images, etc., as well as video concatenation and text overlay with the textwrap module.

• function(s):
  • file_over_image, supports imgs, vids, gifs
  • concat_video
  • text_overlay

Here's example output for file_over_image for an image of Andrew Ng:

Discord, Youtube Data APIs

See my other repository on creating a Discord bot (to interface with the Discord API) and having that bot interact with the Youtube Data API. I've written many useful functions to do almost anything + more with Youtube's Playlists in the Discord client.

Reddit API

I've used the Reddit API to mass-retrieve posts/images for a given subreddit and store them (plus other info) in a pandas.DataFrame.

• I followed this article to set up the API in its complex process.
• function(s):
  • get_subreddit
  • load_subreddit_data
  • generate_new_api_token

Other APIs

• Instagram API (instaloader)

  • You can use it get posts, stories, etc., so I've used it to retrieve any part of a post based on the shortcode in its url and an optional arg, postnums.
  • function(s):
    • get_insta_post

• Remove.bg API (here)

  • Revome.bg is a nice site that uses ML to remove the backgrounds of images, and has an API that I used just for that.
  • function(s):
    • removebg
