youtube_extract
Extract metadata for all videos from a youtube channel and exports it into a csv or xlsx file.
Be sure to read the csv file using the tab character \t as field separator in your spreadsheet software of choice.
As of now it's quite slow and unpredictable, expect ~400 seconds for extracting all videos metadata from a channel containing 400 videos.
