Every single day, a staggering average of 3.7 million fresh videos are uploaded to YouTube. It’s a haven for marketers, salespeople, and researchers seeking knowledge and insights.
But scraping YouTube video data is where the real magic happens. You can get your hands on all the specific details like video titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and even cool stats like view counts and comments.
And, of course, when it comes to processing and tinkering with all that extracted data, nothing beats our trusty old spreadsheet.
Using the ImportFromWeb add-on and the function it adds to Google Sheets, you extract YouTube video metadata in bulk without technical knowledge!
Data selectors describe the specific content you want to import from the YouTube video pages.
Pick the selectors you are interested in from our YouTube selectors glossary and add them to your spreadsheet. For example, you may be interested in the title, published_date, views_count, and likes_count.
