As the title explains, I am trying to pull the trending data for each day of 2019, but I have yet to figure out how to use the API for it. Any thoughts?

What script, if any, did you use to compile VideoCategories, based on Youtube's CategoryId, which are said to be Region or Country Specific?

Would appreciate if that could also be included on future release, or commits.
Thank you.

Hi,

I came across this repo from my colleague. After I obtained a YouTube API Key and placed it in api_key.txt and ran the script, I got blank output files. However, I am not sure which part I did wrong because it did not return any error message.

thanks.

I tried to get a dataset from Italy, but it seems not working. Can you help me please? It's for a project in my university

I've run this script on my Ubuntu but the output file just shows headers.
I have also changed my locale by setting hl=vi&regionCode=VN.
What need i do?

Now the scraper can't find the likeCount nor the dislikeCount in any video from YouTube...
I guess this is happening due to the new version of YouTube in 2023, as the scraper can't find the likeCount and dislikeCount in statistics.

There is any fix for this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I ran the script and I got the csv files, but I wonder if I can get the json files as well?

The JSON files being requested appear to be outdated. I am receiving no data written to these files, aside from default variables. Please see the attached image for reference. Image of Issue

I tried running the script today and while it did complete successfully, all the CSVs that it created were empty except for the headers.. I put my API key in the provided text file. The country codes are the same with the addition of PH for the Philippines.

Hi,

I get this when using print(request.json()):

{u'error': {u'code': 400, u'message': u'No filter selected. Expected one of: myRated, idParam, id, chart', u'errors': [{u'locationType': u'parameter', u'domain': u'youtube.parameter', u'message': u'No filter selected. Expected one of: myRated, idParam, id, chart', u'reason': u'missingRequiredParameter', u'location': u''}]}}

Any idea what to do?

Hi,

I came across this youtube scraper from kaggle and think it's the perfect script to get relevant information about current trending videos on youtube. However, I was wondering if there's a way to get trending videos from the past? The kaggle dataset is not up to date and I would like to create a new dataset for a project that I'm doing for school. Is there any way to do that with this script?
