YouTube link information plugin for Sopel.

Releases are hosted on PyPI, so after installing Sopel, all you need is pip:

$ pip install sopel-youtube

(Make sure you use the "correct" pip, i.e. the one corresponding to the Python environment where you have Sopel installed.)

You can simply pip uninstall sopel-modules.youtube prior to installing this package; no extra steps should be needed. sopel-youtube inherits the configuration section originally defined and used by the older versions.

If you want to help develop or test the plugin, you'll need to install from source. Clone the repo first, then:

$ pip install -e .

To run tests, make sure you have the development dependencies as well:

$ pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

Run the test suite from the repo root directory:

$ pytest -v .

Go to the Google Developers Console and create an application. When it's created, go to the APIs section, select the YouTube Data API and enable it. Then go to the Credentials section, select "Add credentials", pick "API key", and then "Server key". You can enter a name for it and limit the IPs it can be used from, but you don't have to. Copy the value it gives you into the prompt in the config wizard (see below), or the api_key field of the config file's [youtube] section.

sopel-youtube supports Sopel's interactive configuration wizard:

sopel-plugins configure youtube

The api_key option is self-explanatory (see above).

If video "watch" links contain a playlist ID, the plugin will show the playlist info as well as the video info by default. To disable this, set playlist_watch to False.

For videos, by default, only the video length, uploader (channel name), view count, and upload date are shown. The included items, and the order in which they appear, depend on the info_items setting, which is a list of keywords. Unrecognized keywords are simply ignored. Supported info_items are:

• comments (comment count)
• date (upload time/date)
• length (duration)
• likes (count)
• uploader (channel name)
• views (view count)
