My code from the COVID YouTube Analytics project at Mac-Theobio. This is a utilization of the YouTube API v3 to get COVID-related data from YouTube. To get up-to-date videos (but not the original data, as this has changed since August 2020), run initial_downloader.py. An extremely basic figure analysis of the new data as of December 7, 2021 is presented in the analysis
figure (check the Makefile
for how to produce the figure).
Each time range includes the first date (e.x. October 9) at 12:00:01 AM, and the second date (e.x. October 16) at 12:00:00 AM.
We are currently in the process of publishing a manuscript resulting from this project. The main content analysis was done manually and is not in this repository (this repository should only be relied upon for downloader code).
