## YouTube and Instagram Parsers
### Overview
This project includes two scripts: one for downloading videos from YouTube and the other
for downloading photos from Instagram. Both scripts process URLs from the `urls.txt` file,
where each URL points to a YouTube channel or Instagram profile.
### Installation
1. Ensure that you have Python 3.12.0 or later installed.
2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
**For Windows**:
```bash
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
```
**For Unix**:
```bash
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
3. Install the required dependencies from the `requirements.txt` file:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Checking and Installing ffmpeg
To avoid warnings about `ffmpeg` not being found, you should install it. Follow the
instructions for your operating system:
- **For macOS**: Use Homebrew:
```bash
brew install ffmpeg
```
- **For Ubuntu/Debian**:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg
```
- **For Windows**: Download and install `ffmpeg` from
the [official website](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html).
### Usage
#### `urls.txt` File
Add the YouTube channel URLs and Instagram profile URLs you want to process
to the `urls.txt` file. Each URL should be on a new line. Example content:
```
https://www.instagram.com/diachenko.tattoo/
https://www.youtube.com/@user-me5tu9kk1t
```
#### Running the YouTube Parser
To run the YouTube parser script, execute the following command:
```bash
python youtube_parser.py
```
The script will process all URLs containing `youtube.com` or `youtu.be` and download videos from
the listed channels.
#### Running the Instagram Parser
To run the Instagram parser script, use the following command:
```bash
python instagram_parser.py
```
The script will process all URLs containing `instagram.com` and download photos from the listed
profiles.
### Output
- **YouTube Parser**: The downloaded videos are saved in folders named after the channel. Each
folder contains a `description.txt` file with channel information.
- **Instagram Parser**: The photos are saved in folders named after the profile. Each folder
contains a `description.txt` file with profile information and a `photos.txt` file listing the
downloaded photo URLs.
### Code Quality Check
To ensure the code follows PEP8 standards, use `pylint`. For example:
```bash
pylint --disable=missing-module-docstring,missing-function-docstring,pointless-string-statement youtube_parser.py
```
You can similarly check the Instagram script.
### Note
Make sure to use the scripts in compliance with the terms of service of YouTube and Instagram.
