In this article we will see how we can get the quality of the given youtube video stream 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. Quality is basically resolution for the video stream and bit rate for the audio streams higher the value better the quality. We can get the pafy object with the help of new method and with the help of allstreams attribute we can get all the streams available for the video, below is the command to get the pafy object for given video
video = pafy.new(url) streams = video.allstreams
The video url should exist on youtube as it get the information of those videos which are present on the youtube. YouTube is an American online video-sharing platform. In order to do this we use quality attribute with the pafy stream object of video
Syntax : stream.quality Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns string
Below is the implementation
Python3
# importing pafyimport pafy # url of video url = "https://www.youtube.com / watch?v = vG2PNdI8axo" # getting videovideo = pafy.new(url) # getting all the available streamsstreams = video.allstreams# selecting one streamstream = streams[1]# getting quality of streamvalue = stream.quality# printing the valueprint("Quality : " + str(value)) |
Output :
Quality : 70k
Another example
Python3
# importing pafyimport pafy # url of video url = "https://www.youtube.com / watch?v = i6rhnSoK_gc" # getting videovideo = pafy.new(url) # getting all the available streamsstreams = video.allstreams# selecting one streamstream = streams[4]# getting quality of streamvalue = stream.quality# printing the valueprint("Quality : " + str(value)) |
Output :
Quality : 256x144
