Youtube Scraper
===============

[](#youtube-scraper)

The Youtube Scraper is a PHP package that allows you to scrape captions and subtitles from Youtube videos. It uses the Yii 2 framework and the Guzzle HTTP client to make requests to the Youtube API.

### Installation

[](#installation)

You can install the Youtube Scraper using Composer:

```
    composer require pazakharov/yii2-youtube-captions-scraper
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

To use the Youtube Scraper, you first need to create an instance of the YoutubeScraper class and set the languageCode property to the language code of the captions you want to scrape. You can then use the getCaptionsBaseUrl and getSubtitles methods to retrieve the base URL and subtitles, respectively.

Here's an example usage:

```
use Zakharov\YoutubeScraper;

        $scraper = Yii::createObject([
            'class' => YoutubeScraper::class,
        ]);
        $captionUrl = $scraper->getCaptionsBaseUrl('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNzql5TZ-i');
        $subtitles = $scraper->getSubtitles($captionUrl);
```

In this example, we're scraping the captions (subtitles) for the video with the ID wNzql5TZ-i. The getCaptionsBaseUrl method returns the base URL for the captions, which we then pass to the getSubtitles method to retrieve the subtitles.

Note that the getSubtitles method returns an array of strings, where each string represents a subtitle. You can then use this array to display the subtitles in your application.

For use proxy use .env var HTTPCLIENT\_PROXY= or you can configure and provide own instance of Client to YoutubeScraper class.
