Project description
YouTube Scraper
With YouTube Scraper, you can easily collect public YouTube data without blocks. Follow this guide to see how to scrape YouTube using Oxylabs’ Scraper API.
How it works
Simply, send a web request to our API and you’ll retrieve the HTML of any public YouTube page you wish to scrape.
Python code example
The below code requests and delivers the HTML content of this Oxylabs video on YouTube:
import requests
from pprint import pprint
# Structure payload.
payload = {
'source': 'universal',
'url': 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLSGtgKWzxg',
'render': 'html'
}
# Get a response.
response = requests.request(
'POST',
'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',
auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'), # Your credentials go here
json=payload
)
# Instead of response with job status and results URL, this will return the
# JSON response with results.
pprint(response.json())
See Oxylabs documentation for more details.
