To create a function that gives a random link to a YouTube website, you can use the random
, requests
, and BeautifulSoup
modules in Python. Here's an example:
main.py845 chars26 lines
In this function, we start by defining the base URL for YouTube video links, as well as a list of possible characters that can be used in the video ID.
Next, we use a for loop and the random.choice
function to generate a random video ID by choosing 11 characters from the list of possible characters. We then append this video ID to the base URL to get the full URL for a random YouTube video.
We use the requests
module to fetch the HTML content of this page, and then use BeautifulSoup
to extract the title of the video. Finally, we return the title and the full URL as a tuple.
You can call this function as many times as you want to generate random YouTube links with each call.
