get_video_metadata() fails with error about missing statistics key #19

Closed cbuntain closed 5 years ago

cbuntain commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug In the current implementation of get_video_metadata(), the function fails for me with default parameters. The error is related to a missing statistics key in the parsed JSON result. While I think I can track this issue to the default parser used in get_video_metadata(), even if I provide "statistics" as part of the requested data parts, the error persists.

Expected behavior In the default behavior, this function should return video metadata that includes both statistics and snippet data. The parser should work with this default data.

Hey @mabrownnyu, did you resolve this?

Similarly bumping into this issue.

Edit: This may actually be fixed, I pulled the latest version and things seem to work (on Windows).

Should work now: https://github.com/SMAPPNYU/youtube-data-api/blob/master/youtube_api/youtube_api.py#L251
