In this article we will see how we can get the resolution 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. Resolution is the quality of the video stream, the most popular standard resolutions are 640×360 and 640×480 for video, and 720×480 and 720×576 for DVD. HD video usually has a resolution of 1280×720 (720p) or 1920×1080 (1080p, is also known as Full HD). For audio resolution value is 0 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 resolution attribute with the pafy stream object of video
Syntax : stream.resolution 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 resolution of streamvalue = stream.resolution# printing the valueprint("Resolution : " + str(value)) |
Output :
Resolution : 0x0
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 resolution of streamvalue = stream.resolution# printing the valueprint("Resolution : " + str(value)) |
Output :
Resolution : 256x144
