[Youtube] Subscribers counter [solved]

[Youtube] Subscribers counter

solved.

-- code by Bubba
local page = http.get("http://www.youtube.com/channel/NAME") --#Some channel
local text = page.readAll()
print("Subscribers -> "..text:match([[subscribed"%s->([^<]*)]]))

Would this help?

yes, but I don't understand how I let it show only the subscribers

Apparently, you'll need to register your application with Google if you want to use their client-side API for interaction with your YouTube account. However, you could probably just download the page-source for a YouTube account and parse out the subscription count.

It's pretty simple if all you need is the subscribed amount. If you take a look in the source code of the page, you'll see something like this:

<span class="yt-subscription-button-subscriber-count-branded-horizontal subscribed">36</span>

So get the page text and run a simple regex match on it:

local page = http.get("http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC83CJDRvam3_3VKK2L52x9g") --#Some channel
local text = page.readAll()
print("Subscribers -> "..text:match([[subscribed"%s->([^<]*)]]))

Which will print out: "Subscribers -> 36"
