I'm trying to scrape stats for a list of YouTube videos (1500 vids).
At the moment I'm scraping with AnyPicker (Chrome Extension) but it's struggling and getting blocked.

Can you recommend a YouTube Scraper?

(I don't code)

Hey! Actually right now the only thing I really need is channel URL.

1. Example: hxxps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSYPwX4NPg4 > https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7IcJI8PUf5Z3zKxnZvTBog

I tried getting it with importxml but can't find the right xpath. Tried screamingfrog and some other but same thing.

Do you have a suggestion?
