Features

  • Uses API to scrape any info you like from a video. Currently setup to show Title, Channel, Views (human format), Likes (human format) and Uploaded timeframe (human format)
  • Will display the current active playing song (i.e you can have mulitple YouTube tabs open but the script will only use the active tab as its source)
  • Debugging: Will display any errors if the API call failed (i.e in the case of reaching a limit)
  • If API reaches its limit / fails, script will fall back to just showing the title pulled from the active tab in the browser
