# 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
```shell
composer require mirazmac/youscrape
```
### 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
## Usage
Check **examples** folder for complete usage examples.
### Searching Videos
```php
use MirazMac\YouScrape\YouScrape;
$youtube = new YouScrape;
try {
$videos = $youtube->videos('Honest Trailer');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
print_r($videos->getAll());
```
### Fetching Information of a Single Video
```php
use MirazMac\YouScrape\YouScrape;
$youtube = new YouScrape;
try {
$single = $youtube->single('V7h01x1oiQs');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
var_dump($single);
```
### Searching Channels
```php
use MirazMac\YouScrape\YouScrape;
$youtube = new YouScrape;
try {
$channels = $youtube->channels('Entertainment');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
print_r($channels->getAll());
```
### Searching Playlists
```php
use MirazMac\YouScrape\YouScrape;
$youtube = new YouScrape;
try {
$playlists = $youtube->playlists('Entertainment');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}
print_r($playlists->getAll());
```
## Todos
* Implement tests
* Run a benchmark to see if it gets blocked on too heavy requests
* Better and complete documentation
