Bardeen will extract from the currently opened YouTube history page information like title, author, author link, preview image, video link, description and views.

‍

Step 2: Install the extension and integrate Airtable and YouTube data scraper

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

‍

Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. Bardeen will ask you to specify an Airtable.

‍

After you choose the database, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

‍

‍

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!

‍

Bardeen will also ask you to choose to get data from how many videos. 

‍

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark  Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook.
