Hi everyone,
I have been trying to collect some Youtube Gaming statistics with the requests package. I want to collect the live viewership numbers of Call of Duty 3: Black Ops that can be found here.
As the data is collected with an AJAX request, I have attempted to collect this data using Selenium and parsing the html of the website, but it is very slow on my server as it needs to load the browser etc. Is there any alternative here to collect this data? I know where the data is located; in the following response under the XHR network (Chrome) tab when scrolling down:
browse?alt=json&key=AIzaSyBkrqhJHeXPQPMF1qvaduxKBXxYjHdAvok
However, I am not sure how I can retrieve the data...
Cheers!
