YouScrape
=========

[](#youscrape)

YouTube Public Data Scrapper

**YouScrape** is an unofficial replacement of YouTube Data API v3 for retrieving YouTube public data. Currently it can scrape channels, videos, playlists and single video information.

### Install via Composer

[](#install-via-composer)

```
composer require mirazmac/youscrape
```

### Limitations

[](#limitations)

- You can't limit or change the amount of results per page
- It depends on YouTube's internal ajax endpoints, as a result it can only show the information the endpoint provides.
- Its illegal and YouTube may block your IP if you send too many requests
