Bardeen automates the process of gathering insights from YouTube videos and organizing them into Google Sheets. This streamlined process is invaluable for content creators, marketers, and researchers who regularly extract information from videos to create summaries, compile data, or generate content ideas. With this playbook, you can pose questions to OpenAI about specific parts of a video transcript and save the responses, making data collection and analysis significantly more efficient.
Here's how this workflow processes YouTube video content and saves it to Google Sheets:
- Step 1: Scrape YouTube video transcription - Using Scraper, this step extracts the transcription text from a YouTube video that's open on the current active tab.
- Step 2: Scrape additional data - The scraper is used again to gather any additional data needed from the active tab, further enriching the context for OpenAI.
- Step 3: Generate answers with OpenAI - OpenAI is utilized to answer your specific questions based on the content scraped from the YouTube video. User input is required to specify the question.
- Step 4: Get the current page URL - This command retrieves the URL of the YouTube video page, which will be included in the Google Sheets for reference.
- Step 5: Save to Google Sheets - The results from OpenAI, along with the video URL and other relevant data, are appended to a specified Google Sheets spreadsheet, creating a comprehensive database of insights.
How to run the playbook
Tired of the time-consuming process of extracting information from YouTube videos? Frustrated by the manual effort it takes to gather data for your projects? Look no further.

Whether you're a content creator seeking insights from user comments or a researcher compiling data for your analysis, this automation simplifies the process. It seamlessly stores the results in a Google Sheets spreadsheet, allowing you to easily access and manipulate the extracted data.
Spare yourself the hassle and time drain of manual information extraction.

FAQs
Tables: Is it possible to save data from a Table to a CSV file?
This is possible! Edit your automation and add the "Convert table to CSV" action on the end. You should get the CSV once you run the playbook.
Scraper: If I scrape LinkedIn profiles, will they see me checking their profile?
Yes. Since Bardeen lives on your browser, Playbooks like "Enrich Linkedin links from a Google Sheet" open the Linkedin profiles in the background and scrape their information. This happens from your currently opened Linkedin account, so people can see you've visited their profile.
Scraper: How can I get data from multiple sections of a profile (Eg: getting the experience section on a linkedin profile)?
Cases like this require you to scrape the links to the sections and use the background scraper to get details from every section.
Playbooks: My shared playbook is not updating, how can I share an updated version?
For your shared playbook to be updated, you need to unshare your playbook and share it again. This will generate a new link. To do this: 1) Edit the playbook. 2) Unshare it (click on share, then the “unshare” button) 3) Share it again
