I'm trying to get the view count for a list of videos from a channel. I've written a function and when I try to run it with just 'video_id', 'title'& 'published date' I get the output. However, when I want the view count or anything from statistics part of API, then it is giving a Key Error.
Here's the code:
def get_video_details(youtube, video_ids): all_video_stats = [] for i in range(0, len(video_ids), 50): request = youtube.videos().list( part='snippet,statistics', id = ','.join(video_ids[i:i+50])) response = request.execute() for video in response['items']: video_stats = dict( Video_id = video['id'], Title = video['snippet']['title'], Published_date = video['snippet']['publishedAt'], Views = video['statistics']['viewCount']) all_video_stats.append(video_stats) return all_video_statsget_video_details(youtube, video_ids)
And this is the error message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------KeyError Traceback (most recent call last)~\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_18748/3337790216.py in <module>----> 1 get_video_details(youtube, video_ids)~\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_18748/1715852978.py in get_video_details(youtube, video_ids) 14 Title = video['snippet']['title'], 15 Published_date = video['snippet']['publishedAt'],---> 16 Views = video['statistics']['viewCount']) 17 18 all_video_stats.append(video_stats)KeyError: 'viewCount'
I was referencing this Youtube video to write my code.
Thanks in advance.
