Logic behind BeautifulSoup data-parsing
#2

What im finding difficult to understand is, when searching for a element to parse (for example video title)...
Youtube is not an easy site to scrape not something to start with,
need Selenium or underrating how a site like that operate.
there is a API for YouTube that can get info like title.
Look at Web-Scraping part-1, part-2.

Here a post about API usage.
