opencv | authorize youtube in python | create live stream | Search

The code imports various libraries and modules to interact with the operating system, handle JSON data, build a web application, and make HTTP requests, and configures the Google API for YouTube. It defines functions to authorize and list live broadcasts using the YouTube API, sanitize file names, and maps function names to their corresponding functions in the module.

Run example

npm run import -- "list broadcasts"

list broadcasts

import os
import re
import json
import flask
import requests

import_notebook("list live stream",
"globals("))

import google.oauth2.credentials
import google_auth_oauthlib.flow
import googleapiclient.discovery

SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl']
API_SERVICE_NAME = 'youtube'
API_VERSION = 'v3'
HOME_DIR = os.environ.get("HOME") or os.environ.get("USERPROFILE")

def list_broadcasts():
  credentials = youtube_authorize()

  youtube = googleapiclient.discovery.build(
      API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials)

  broadcasts = youtube.liveBroadcasts().list(part='id,snippet', mine=True).execute()

  return broadcasts["items"]
  # Save credentials back to session in case access token was refreshed.
  # ACTION ITEM: In a production app, you likely want to save these
  #              credentials in a persistent database instead.
  #flask.session['credentials'] = credentials_to_dict(credentials)

  #return flask.jsonify(**broadcasts)


def sanitize_filename(name):
    """Sanitize a string to be a valid filename."""
    return re.sub(r"[^\w.-]", "_", name)  # Replace invalid characters with "_"


__all__ = {
  "list_broadcasts": list_broadcasts
}

Code Breakdown

Import Statements

The code imports various libraries and modules, including:

Google API Configuration

The code defines several constants:

list_broadcasts Function

The list_broadcasts function:

  1. Authorizes the user using the youtube_authorize function (not shown in this excerpt)
  2. Creates a YouTube API client using the authorized credentials
  3. Lists the user's live broadcasts using the liveBroadcasts().list method
  4. Returns the list of broadcasts as a JSON object

sanitize_filename Function

The sanitize_filename function:

  1. Takes a string as input
  2. Uses a regular expression to replace invalid characters with underscores
  3. Returns the sanitized string

all Dictionary

The __all__ dictionary defines a mapping of function names to their corresponding functions in the module. In this case, the only function defined is list_broadcasts.
