Deep scraper on youtube not working properly, single page model works once then breaks

Deep scrape playbook - Shared Playbook Template

single page scraper - Shared Playbook Template

This playbook is supposed to:

1. Scrape youtube search results
2. Go through the list and fetch the socials from the youtube channel page (instagram, tiktok, etc)
3. It will display them as text

---

The single page “about” youtube channel model works on the profile its designed on and then stops working and grabs a random recommended video from the youtube hompage.

Am i using the wrong selectors? I dont know whats going on here I spend all day on this, any help would be appreciated.

Here are the steps and selectors i’m using for a youtube channel:
(Lets use the bardeen youtube channel for example)

1. When on a channel click the element with the id of #content this opens up the detail view of all of the links and additonal bio
2. use div ID of #link-list-container and copy all of the text in the link div

Thats it

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your patience. We’ve created a playbook template for you that scrapes youtube search results and then opens each profile and scrapes the about page of that profile. This was a tricky one as the pop up that contains all the links takes some time to open up when loaded in the background, so we had to add a 40s custom delay.

If you would like to add additional fields to the scraper, feel free to edit the scraper template in the playbook we have created just for you.
