Generate a New Dataset

With current data from the YouTube API!

Create a python virtual environment:

python3 -m venv my_env
Activate the virtual environment:

source my_env/bin/activate
Install required packages:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Create a YouTube API key
Rename the example.env file to .env. Replace YOUR-API-KEY-HERE with your API key.
Run the script to create the dataset:

python3 create-dataset.py
To use the new dataset in analysis.ipynb, rename new-youtube-data.csv to youtube-data.csv
Deactivate the virtual environment:

deactivate
