It is a tool that takes the name of a YouTube channel as input and uses Selenium, a web automation library, to extract all video links from that channel. The tool then generates a JSON file containing all the video links for easy access and further analysis. This solution is useful for obtaining video data programmatically from YouTube channels without the need for an API key, making it accessible for researchers, content creators, and data enthusiasts.
