Research Youtube tools - Githubissues

grenwi commented 3 years ago

Similar to the Twitter Wikipage do a systematic research on Tools for Youtube data collection:

Tools should give users with (limited) programming skills access to API data or scraping from the platform page
Tools should be actively maintained to be included in the list
Tools should be described comprehensively for a target user group of communication / social scientists (i.e. experienced users of technical solutions but usually background but not computer engineers)

Special data for Youtube:

As YT is not a very commonly used datas ource in communication studies, describe the different kinds of data the YT API is providing (e.g. user comments, video descriptions, video transcripts, ...)

Suggested tools:

Youtube-scrape: https://github.com/HermanFassett/youtube-scrape

For descriptions think of useful ways to systematize the tool descriptions. For instance the categories summarizing functionalities of different software tools as described in the table on the Twitter Wikipage

Transferring to main repo. Possibly a duplicate. Please check for an older issue with the same topic and close one of both.
