I am trying to webscrape youtube data to obtain the views,likes,dislikes,etc. I am using pafy library to achieve the same. While I am able to get the other info , I am unable to fetch the likes and dislikes as it is returning None. I have attached the output for reference. In order to run the code just replace the API key with your developer API Key. The screenshot of the output is as below:
Here is the code:
#!pip install pafy
#!pip install --upgrade youtube_dl
import pafy
url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLF6ZqhO5I"
pafy.set_api_key("YOUR API KEY")
v= pafy.new(url)
print(v.title)
print(v.viewcount)
print(v.published)
print(v.likes)
#print(v.url)
