Bot Detector

1. Acquire an API Key for youtube.

• You can create a project and get an API key here: https://console.cloud.google.com

2. Create a class object

    url = "https://youtube.com/shorts/qYcVT3BAQJA?si=McC5WjFirpPaW_JB"
    bot_detector = YouTubeDetector(url)

3. Run a similarity search

    matches = bot_detector.get_text_similarity()
    matches.to_csv("./matches.csv")

4.

• This is the output once we run a similarity search.

• I noticed bots were referencing a "flood in 2017" across multiple comments.

• This will group these comments together and rank them towards the top.

• IT SHOULD BE NOTED: This method does not have 100% accuracy. Some human users may genuinely comment repititous text. It is up to you to make the final determination.
