I am making a simple YouTube API call where I am getting the statistics of a YouTube channel to learn how to make API Calls.

I am using the Google Python API and have pip installed it into my working directory. I got the ModuleError and then by troubleshooting online I thought of making a virtual environment and installing the google api in there.

After creating the virtual environment and installing the Google API in there I ran the command pip list to make sure that it is in the virtual environment and I get the output:

(playlist_venv) C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Desktop\Playlist_Creator>pip list

My script is as so:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
import os

api_key = os.environ.get("YT_API_KEY")
if not api_key:
    raise ValueError("YT_API_KEY environment variable not set")
# print(api_key)


youtube = build('youtube',
                'v3',
                developerKey=api_key)

request = youtube.channels().list(
    part='statistics',
    forUsername='******'
)

request = request.execute()

print(request)

And the output is:

(playlist_venv) C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Desktop\Playlist_Creator>python3 youtube_call.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Desktop\Playlist_Creator\youtube_call.py", line 9, in <module>
    from googleapiclient.discovery import build
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'

What am I doing wrong to get this output?

This is my code I'm running in a Python3 Jupyter notebook:

from __future__ import print_function
import datetime
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file, client, tools

import pandas as pd

I get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'

pip freeze:

This is what I get from the command pip freeze:

I already tried:

• pip install --force-reinstall google-api-python-client

• pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

• Restarting my computer

• Restart the Jupyter notebook kernel

• When I try to use the command: "pip install googleapiclient", then I get this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement googleapiclient (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for googleapiclient

What can I do?

I tried many ways to PIP3 installed GooglePythonApi, but I still can't get away from this error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'googleapiclient'

I have Anaconda installed in my Windows 10, this is the screenshot of the error in my Visual Studio Code.

Can somebody help?

I'm getting the following error:

Import "googleapiclient.discovery" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingImports)

when I add the following line to my code:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

The file structure is as follows:

YOUTUBEAPI\youtube_api\Lib\site-packages and YOUTUBEAPI\youtube_api\yt.py

I don't know how to draw directory tree in reddit, so mentioned like the above.

also, when I check the discovery.py file inside "googleapiclient" folder similar error is found for the following lines of code:

from six.moves import http_client
from six.moves.urllib.parse import urljoin

i.e. Import "six.moves" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingModuleSource) and Import "six.moves.urllib.parse" could not be resolved Pylance (reportMissingModuleSource)

Could somebody help me please?

Here is a screenshot so you guys can see what I am doing exactly.
