Web Scraping is a specialized tool designed to quickly and accurately extract data from any web page. Web scraping tools vary greatly in terms of design and complexity, depending on the project. The need for web scraping is to collect data that can be useful in any way. In this article, I will take you through scraping youtube with Python. I will also show you how we can download any youtube video by using a one-line command.

You will notice that we have and installed pytube3 by using the pip command, but we are importing pytube and not pytube3. To eliminate confusion, pytube3 is also imported by writing only pytube. We don’t import it by writing as pytube3.

Our next step is to get the link of the youtube video which we need to scrape using python. Don’t forget to place your link between ” ” or ‘ ‘:

link = input("Enter Link of Youtube Video: ")
yt = YouTube(link)

Now, as we have taken the link of a youtube video as an input, we will run the program while scraping some information about the video. Now, I will write some necessary functions that we can use for scraping youtube with python by using pytube module.
