Video Scraper API FAQs
Why is it important to use proxies when scraping videos?
Proxies are important for scraping video platforms because they help your scraper stay anonymous, avoid IP bans, access geo-restricted content, and improve scraping speed.
Why is it important to have an unblocking solution when scraping videos?
Having an unblocking solution when scraping video platforms is important because many sites have anti-scraping measures that can block your IP or require CAPTCHA solving. Bright Data’s web scraping solutions include unblocking features to bypass these obstacles and keep data collection running smoothly.
What type of video data can I scrape?
When scraping video platforms, you may only extract publicly available data such as video titles, descriptions, view counts, upload dates, channel names, likes, and public comments. In line with our commitment to privacy laws, scraping behind log-ins is not permitted.
Is it legal to scrape videos?
Our privacy practices comply with data protection laws, including the EU data protection regulatory framework, GDPR, and CCPA – respecting requests to exercise privacy rights and more.
