Pafy – Checking if each item of Playlist is HD

In this article we will see how we can check each item of playlist is HD or not in pafy. Pafy is a python library to download YouTube content and retrieve metadata. Pafy object is the object which contains all the information about the given video. A playlist in YouTube is a list, or group, of videos that plays in order, one video after the other. On YouTube, HD indicates that a video has between 720 and 1080 lines of vertical resolution (shown as 720p or 1080p in the quality settings of the YouTube player) compared to 360 or 480, which are typical for SD. We can get the playlist from youtube in pafy with the help of get_playlist method, below is the command given to do this
