    YouTube has an API that provides access to video details, likes, comments, and more without scraping.

    If scraping directly from the page, you can use Selenium or BeautifulSoup, but YouTube’s dynamic nature makes this tough.

    Be careful about copyright and terms of service when scraping video content from any platform.
