A Statista research states that over 3 billion internet users have been watching streaming or downloaded video at least once a month throughout 2022.
Most companies collect data on the videos that are popular on a particular website in order to improve their own content strategy. Another reason for collecting video data is to gather information on competitors’ marketing strategies.
Additionally, businesses use video scraping to collect links to use in their own marketing campaigns or to build a database of video content for a video platform.
Automated video scraping can save you a lot of time and effort compared to manual data collection, especially when scraping large amounts of data.
So if you are seeking for a Youtube scraper – this is what you need! In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to get Youtube, Vimeo, Rutube, Facebook, and Instagram video links in bulk from any website in minutes.
