YouTube Data Tools is a collection of simple tools for extracting data from the YouTube platform via the YouTube API v3.
YTDT is written and maintained by Bernhard Rieder, Associate Professor in Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam and researcher with the Digital Methods Initiative.
You do not have to install this software to use it. There is a running version here. But if you want your own installation:
- Go to the Google API Console and create an API key (APIs & auth => credentials => create new key => server key, leave IP list empty).
- Rename config_sample.php to config.php and paste the API key into the appropriate place.
- Copy all of the files into folder on your web server (needs to be able to execute PHP) and create a folder called "data" that the script can write to. That's it.
If this does not work, please contact your institution's tech support for help and not the author.
