Clark University, Package for YouTube crawler and cleaning data
Project description
clarku-youtube-crawler
Clark University YouTube crawler and JSON decoder for YouTube json. Please read documentation in DOCS
Installing
To install,
pip install clarku-youtube-crawler
The crawler needs multiple other packages to function.
If missing requirements (I already include all dependencies so it shouldn't happen), download requirements.txt
.
Navigate to the folder where it contains requirements.txt and run
pip install -r requirements.txt
Example usage
To initialize,
# your_script.py
import clarku_youtube_crawler as cu
test = cu.RawCrawler()
test.__build__()
test.crawl("searchkey",start_date=14, start_month=12, start_year=2020, day_count=2)
test.crawl_videos_in_list(comment_page_count=1)
test.merge_all()
channel = cu.ChannelCrawler()
channel.__build__()
channel.setup_channel(subscriber_cutoff=1000, keyword="")
channel.crawl()
channel.crawl_videos_in_list(comment_page_count=1)
channel.merge_all()
jsonn = cu.JSONDecoder()
jsonn.load_json("YouTube_RAW_20201221/FINAL_raw_merged.json")
