There is a playlist on YouTube with almost 1000 videos. Using Python, I would like to go through each video and extract the video description (the bunch of text where a YouTube would usually put links and resources) from all videos uploaded after a certain date. I have tried pytube with little success
Minimal Working Example
from pytube import Playlist
from datetime import datetime
# Grab playlist
BBC = Playlist("https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG8IrydigQfcRNrWVqNkeZiCJ_DWgXDVX")
start_date = datetime(year=2023, month=4, day=1)
# Generator pipeline
filter_date = (video for video in BBC.videos if video.upload_date >= start_date)
grab_text = (video.vid_info['videoDetails']['shortDescription'] for video in filter_date)
# Run generators and grab descriptions
descriptions = list(grab_text)
However I get a too many requests error. Is there any way to make this work? I am happy to do this in batch as well. I have tried doing it in batch with generators or lists alike and it did not work. Happy with a scraper solution too.
