One way to scrape data from YouTube is by using the Beautiful Soup library in Python along with the Requests library.
Here's an example code snippet that extracts the title, description, and duration of the first video in a YouTube search result:
main.py775 chars22 lines
This code uses the requests
library to send a GET request to the YouTube search URL, and then uses Beautiful Soup to parse the HTML response and extract the relevant video data from the first search result. You can modify the query
variable to search for different videos.
