How to scrape data from Youtube using Python!

Welcome back! Youtube is a massive video platform which is also the 2nd largest search engine worldwide, so let’s scrape some data from this website. We’ll be using Python, so if you have no experience using Python I would recommend brushing up on your knowledge of that language.

As always, before web scraping we have to figure out which specific data points we need to scrape, after looking at a video I automatically saw a ton of different data points we can get, in this project we’ll be scraping the number of likes, dislikes, comments, views as well as the title of the video and the username.
