Duration about scrapetube HOT 7 CLOSED

Sure, video['thumbnailOverlays'][0]['thumbnailOverlayTimeStatusRenderer']['text']['simpleText'] contains the video duration.

Oh. That great. It's great. How do I convert the output into seconds?

from scrapetube.

This might help:

import scrapetube
import datetime
videos = scrapetube.get_channel("UC9-y-6csu5WGm29I7JiwpnA", sort_by='popular')
for video in videos:
    duration = video['thumbnailOverlays'][0]['thumbnailOverlayTimeStatusRenderer']['text']['simpleText']
    seconds = str((datetime.datetime.strptime(duration, '%M:%S') - datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 1)).total_seconds()).split('.')[0]
    print(seconds)

Please keep in mind that this will only work for a duration that does not have any hours like this 08:16, but for a duration with hours, you will have to replace '%M:%S' with '%H%M:%S'.
Hope it helps.

And I've got some personal question. However long have you been learning python before creating scrapetube? I just want to know to help me set some real expectations with my learning.
