Youtube Live Chat
Hello. I am trying to make a visual studio thing that opens a youtube.com link in the background (LIVESTREAM) and checks the live chat messages. (Print the messages to console) I have tried with selenium and stuff but it just doesn't seem to work for some reason.

Use official api, don't scrape the chat lol.
But then I have to pay
And then it's not realtime
And I kind of have to get href elements of links
because youtube shortens them ðŸ˜
@Buddy, Citizen of Pluto
scraping youtube is against their TOS so you wont get any help here
It is?
of course it is... if not explicitly mentioned its usually not permitted
Is getting links from youtube live chat and just auto clicking em really against tos though?
Bc I'm not even saving them
using any automated tools to access data on yt is against TOS
