  • HtmlAgilityPack

    Html Agility Pack (HAP) is a free and open-source HTML parser written in C# to read/write DOM and supports plain XPATH or XSLT. It is a .NET code library that allows you to parse "out of the web" HTML files.

    • For YouTube using the public API would be best as mentioned. But if your looking to get data from a site that has no API I recommend using HtmlAgilityPack. It has al lot of great functions to help you navigate, search and get data from the html page.
