In this article we will see how we can get file name 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. Stream is basically available resolution of video is available on youtube. A file name is the complete title of a file and file extension. For example, “readme. txt” is a complete file name. Here file name is derived from title and extension. 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 filename attribute with the pafy stream object of video
Syntax : stream.filename Argument : It takes no argument Return : It returns string
Below is the implementation
Python3
import pafy
url = "https: / / www.youtube.com / watch?v = vG2PNdI8axo"
video = pafy.new(url)
streams = video.allstreams
stream = streams[ 7 ]
value = stream.filename
print (" File name : " + str (value))
|
Output :
File name : DSA Self Paced Course _ GeeksforGeeks.webm
Another example
Python3
import pafy
url = "https: / / www.youtube.com / watch?v = i6rhnSoK_gc"
video = pafy.new(url)
streams = video.allstreams
stream = streams[ 4 ]
value = stream.filename
print (" File name : " + str (value))
