CLI tool to search youtube captions
Project description
ytgrep is a CLI tool to search youtube closed captions with a grep-like interface.
Requirements
Requires python >= 3.5
Installation
pip install ytgrep
Purpose
ytgrep is particularly useful whilst looking for particular topic or keywords in a video. For example, suppose you are interested in learning more about Breadth First Search. Rather than watching MIT Open Courseware’s entire 50 minute video, you can do the following with ytgrep:
python ytgrep.py 'bfs' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-CYnVz-uh4
[00:46:22.109 --> 00:46:24.170] compute this shortest we compute this path out of bfs which is follow a parent
[00:46:24.170 --> 00:46:24.180] path out of bfs which is follow a parent
[00:46:24.180 --> 00:46:26.450] path out of bfs which is follow a parent of v is c prime of c is x parent of x is
[00:47:25.799 --> 00:47:28.459] the shortest path thats the cool thing about bfs yeah bfs explores of vertices"
Usage
usage: ytgrep.py [-h] [-e] [-v] [-links] pattern urls [urls ...]
Flags
-e <PATTERN> - specify a regular expression to match
-v - verbose, print debug information
-links - include the time shortcut link with each match (see example below)
