🎯 Pick exact YouTube quality you want
|
Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. Yesterday we introduced pytubefix - a powerful module to access YouTube. We downloaded a video as well. Cool, but basic. What if you want 1080p instead of 480p. Or prefer WebM over MP4. To answer all this - let's cover downloads in depth today. 🤫 I am 100% sure you can charm recruiters or your colleagues as they won't know this! 📥 Code Recap: How to download YouTube video
In:
# Import library from pytubefix import YouTube # Assign video we want to analyze (Taylor Swift- august) url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn_0zPAfyo8" yt = YouTube(url) # Download stream = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution() stream.download()
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/Taylor Swift – august (Official Lyric Video).mp4'
🪄🪄 Lets start now with the magic.. ✏️ Save video in a different name
In:
stream.download(filename="my_custom_name.mp4")
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/my_custom_name.mp4'
🔮 Chose resolution as per your need
In:
stream = yt.streams.filter(res="720p").first() stream.download(filename="720p_format.mp4")
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/720p_format.mp4'
🖥️ What all resolutions are available? 'streams' basically tells what all downloadable forms are available - resolution, extension etc. Output is a sample.
In:
for stream in yt.streams: print(f"Resolution: {stream.resolution}, Extension: {stream.subtype}")
Out:
Resolution: 720p, Extension: mp4 Resolution: None, Extension: webm Resolution: 1080p, Extension: mp4 Resolution: 480p, Extension: mp4 🥇 So why not download the best quality Note this on your computer: Size 1080p is 25MB while 720p was 5.6MB
In:
stream = yt.streams.filter(res="1080p").first() stream.download(filename="1080p_format.mp4")
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/1080p_format.mp4'
📋 Change extension from 'mp4' to 'webm'
In:
stream = yt.streams.filter(file_extension='webm').first() stream.download(filename="new_format.webm")
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/new_format.webm'
🎬 Download only video (no audio)
In:
video_stream = yt.streams.filter(only_video=True).first() video_stream.download(filename="only_video.mp4")
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/only_video.mp4'
🎵 Download audio file separately
In:
audio_stream = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first() audio_stream.download(filename="audio_only.m4a")
Out: '/user/home/directory/path/audio_only.m4a'

Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. Last week we introduced numpy. Created bunch of arrays, sliced them and did some math with them. To prepare data for machine learning or any analysis, we need to learn to control their shape. Today - Reshape flat lists into grids. Flatten 2D tables back to 1D arrays. Create arrays filled with zeros, ones, or random numbers. ⏪ Recap: See dimensions first In: import numpy as np sales = np.array([120, 340,...
