Python and Youtube Api

Question

I am trying to download data in a JSON format from youtube, via their API. I have setup my python code as such:

import requests 
response = requests.get(https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet%2C+replies&maxResults=25&textFormat=plainText&videoId=ufGlBv8Z3NU&key={YOUR_API_KEY})
response.status_code

I am getting a 400 response error code. Basically, I am trying to follow the approach found here:Youtube Try-It

Parameters:

Part:snippet,replies

maxResults:25

textFormat:plainText

videoId:ufGlBv8Z3NU

Am I doing this all wrong? Or is there a better way to do this? My api key is a copy and paste, so I dont think there are any issues there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

It is working for me. Can you post the error message you are getting. Besides the 400 usually there is a JSON explaining the cause. — rodrigo

You know what, it was a mistake on my part. I pasted the API key inside the curly braces, which gave me the error. Removing the curly braces fixed my issue. Thanks for checking!
