Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to extract video data?
The legality of scraping video data largely depends on the specific data you're extracting and the manner in which you intend to use it. It's essential to adhere to all relevant laws and regulations, including copyright laws. Before engaging in any web scraping activities with Oxylabs scrapers, consult legal advisors and review the respective website’s terms of service or obtain a web scraping license.
How do you retrieve video search results?
You can scrape video search results by developing your data extraction tool or using ready-to-use solutions like Oxylabs scrapers. Our enterprise-grade data scrapers allow you to seamlessly collect structured video search results, video & audio content, transcripts, subtitles, and metadata, including titles, views, tags, and engagement metrics.
Can I scrape dislikes from videos?
No, because the largest video-sharing platform removed public dislike counts in 2021. However, you can estimate dislikes using third-party browser extensions or unofficial APIs, but these rely on community data and aren't always accurate.
Can I scrape subtitles from videos?
Yes, you can scrape subtitles from videos. Depending on the scale and your use case, you can use an official built-in feature, such as YouTube Video Manager, or third-party solutions like Oxylabs scrapers. Also, keep in mind that only videos with captions (manual or auto-generated) will have subtitles.
Should I use proxies when scraping videos?
Yes, using proxies helps avoid blocks, rate limits, and access geo-restricted content. However, before engaging in any scraping activities, we suggest consulting with legal advisors and reviewing the respective website's terms of service.
What video data can you extract?
You can extract different video data, such as video title or video description, views, likes, upload dates, channel info, and comments. Specifically, you can:
Scrape video ad results: Gather data on ad videos, including ad type, duration, advertiser info, and targeting.
Scrape the largest video-sharing platform search engine results: Extract video listings based on keywords, including metadata like title, thumbnail, channel, views, and publish date.
In addition, you can also scrape public video and audio data. But before you decide to scrape video data, consult with legal advisors and review the respective website's terms of service. Also, read more on what you can do with your scraped data on our blog post What is LLM?
Can I scrape video comments?
Yes, with our advanced scraping solutions, you can gather video comments, including the comment text, author name, timestamp, and number of likes. However, it must comply with the website's terms of service.
