Youtube Scraper ?

[theobeast255]

Alright I am kinda new to VB.Net but I would like to make a youtube comment username scraper

Pretty much this program will have a textbox where you input the link to the youtube video where you want to scrape all the usernames.
then it will add them to a listbox.

The only problem is... I don't know how to...

Can someone please help me code this, I don't know whether I need to use web requests or what but here is the html code for a username:

<a href="/user/TheElectronicBangers" class="yt-uix-sessionlink yt-user-name " data-sessionlink="ei=5srFUZaRGpSulgfomYDQDg" dir="ltr">TheElectronicBangers</a>

any help is much appreciated!:laugh:

Hi,

Have a look at this:-

The same principle applies except you will need to look for different Tag names.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Ian
