Description
Specifically, I believe that yt-formatted-string
is no longer populated, breaking everything from "likes" and below.
I expect to see something similar to this as noted here
$ python extract_video_info.py https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw

But I instead get this :(
mattpopovich@MBP $ python3 extract_video_info.py 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/mattpopovich/Documents/extract_video_info.py", line 58, in <module>
data = get_video_info(url)
File "/Users/mattpopovich/Documents/extract_video_info.py", line 32, in get_video_info
result["likes"] = ''.join([ c for c in text_yt_formatted_strings[0].attrs.get("aria-label") if c.isdigit() ])
IndexError: list index out of range
I'm looking into it... Just wanted to document it now for the time being.
Looks like the ytInitialData
variable has a "defaultText":{"accessibility":{"accessibilityData":{"label":"##### likes"}}
which might be promising
