With [YouTube

Scraper](https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api/web/youtube), you

can easily collect public YouTube data without blocks. Follow this guide

to see how to scrape YouTube using Oxylabs’ [Scraper

API](https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api).

## How it works

Simply, send a web request to our API and you’ll retrieve the HTML of

any public YouTube page you wish to scrape.

### Python code example

The below code requests and delivers the HTML content of [this

Oxylabs video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLSGtgKWzxg) on

YouTube:

```python

import requests

from pprint import pprint

# Structure payload.

payload = {

    'source': 'universal',

    'url': 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLSGtgKWzxg',

    'render': 'html'

}

# Get a response.

response = requests.request(

    'POST',

    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',

    auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),  # Your credentials go here

    json=payload

)

# Instead of response with job status and results URL, this will return the

# JSON response with results.

pprint(response.json())

```

See Oxylabs

[documentation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api)

for more details.

### Output sample

```json

{

    "results": [

        {

            "content":"\n\n

            ...

            \n\n",

            "created_at": "2023-05-18 12:33:40",

            "updated_at": "2023-05-18 12:33:55",

            "page": 1,

            "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLSGtgKWzxg",

            "job_id": "7064941110115745793",

            "status_code": 200

        }

    ]

}

```
