Select a stream object to download

The YouTube object has an attribute called streams. This is a StreamQuery object. It has the following methods to get a stream object:

  • filter(res , progressive, only_audio, only_video): This method returns the list of streams based on the value of the parameters passed. The res parameter is a string while the others are booleans. Setting progressive to True will only return the progressive streams. Setting only_audio to True will return the streams with only audio components and similarly setting only_video to True will only return the video components which do not have an audio component. This method returns a StreamQuery object.

  • first(): It returns the first stream object in the StreamQuery object.

  • last(): It returns the last stream object in the StreamQuery object.

  • get_highest_resolution(): It returns a progressive stream object with the highest resolution.

  • get_lowest_resolution(): It returns a progressive stream object with the lowest resolution.

  • get_by_itag(itag): If we want a specific stream object, we can pass it’s itag.
