I'm using Google Sheets as a scraper for youtube videos. I would like to make the sheet even more dynamic, but it doesn't seem to work.
For example, I would like to write "How to get my baby to sleep" as a search query, therefore I would write this query into H6. If H6 is filled now, I would like to dynamically insert this query into the importXML function.
This is what I've already had, but I can't get this to work.
=ARRAYFORMULA("https://www.youtube.com"&QUERY(QUERY(UNIQUE(
IMPORTXML("https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=**{{dynamicInsertion}}**","//a/@href")),
"where Col1 contains '/watch?v='"),"limit 50"))
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA("https://www.youtube.com/"&QUERY(IMPORTXML(
"https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query="&H6, "//a/@href"),
"where Col1 matches '/channel.+|/watch.+|/user.+|/results.+'
order by Col1 desc"))
=ARRAYFORMULA("https://www.youtube.com/"&QUERY(UNIQUE(IMPORTXML(
"https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query="&H6, "//a/@href")),
"where Col1 matches '/channel.+|/watch.+|/user.+|/results.+'
order by Col1 desc limit 50"))
