Python, youtube scraping. - Jardz04 - Dec-08-2019

Hey there.
New to web scraping and wanted to try making a Tubesift like application(web-based) and only for personal use for now. I also want to make a nice GUI, so I will most likely have to stack languages. Any idea on how to start or good vids and blogs to read will be very appreciated. Thank you

Look at this for post for exciting solutions.
To do web-scraping on YouTube is not an easy task anymore,i have done it before but they have changed a lot.
So my old solution will not work anymore,the advantage with eg youtube-dl is that they always fix when changes is needed.
As the a lot people(704) that has contribute to youtube-dl.

I have used youtube-dl and Flask to make my a mp3 download solutions from videos.
Look like this.
