Scrape YouTube Channel Name, Profile Picture and Channel ID with Python
This video shows you how to scrape a YouTube channel name, profile picture and channel id with python
I'm currently working on a YouTube video inspiration Web App for people with YouTube channels. To make this work in the way I wanted I needed to be able to grab the YouTube channel name and profile picture automatically for a given YouTube channel URL.
Unfortunately most of the support for scraping YouTube is in the form of scraping YouTube videos. What I wanted to do is just scrape information about the channel itself.
Since I found it quite tricky to find anything I thought I'd create this super short video to show people how to use python to scrape a youtube channel for channel data.
