YouTube Video Archive & Data Extraction -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 CAD
MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE - I’m assembling a complete offline archive of roughly 200–300 YouTube videos and all their surrounding data, and I’d like a detail-oriented professional who has direct experience. Your job is to pull everything down, format it correctly, keep it impeccably organised, and place the finished package on the private server I will provide.
Here’s what the work involves:
• Download each video in MP4 format.
• Generate a full transcript for every video, formatted line-by-line with timestamps, then save it as both .txt and .pdf.
• Scrape every public comment and reply, capturing the text, author, date, likes, and any available thread hierarchy, and export that to .csv or .xlsx.
• Collect all metadata—title, upload date, description, views, likes, tags, etc.—and compile it into a single spreadsheet (Google Sheets or Excel).
• Create a clear folder structure so that each video’s MP4, transcripts, comments file, and a copy of its metadata can be located instantly.
• Upload the finished archive to my private server and verify file integrity.
Accuracy and discretion are non-negotiable. Please confirm your experience with large-scale YouTube scraping, note any automation or rate-limit considerations your plan to handle, and outline your estimated turnaround time. If this sounds like a process you’ve mastered, I’m ready to get started right away.
Do not bid if over budget and must be ready to start asap.
