This project involved scraping video and channel data from YouTube to analyze trends, gather insights, and track user engagement. The data collected included video metadata, user comments, transcriptions, and other relevant details.
Navigating YouTube’s data restrictions and handling CAPTCHA challenges posed difficulties. Additionally, extracting comments and transcriptions required using the YouTube API and specialized libraries.
The solution used a combination of the YouTube Data API and custom scraping code to extract video and channel data. Comments and transcriptions were processed using specialized libraries, while TwoCaptcha handled CAPTCHA challenges.
The system enabled detailed insights into YouTube trends, user engagement, and video content analysis. Clients were able to gain valuable insights from user feedback and video metadata.
