Description: # Python Bitchute Scraper
        
        This repository contains a simple scaper for the bitcute video plattform. It makes uses of Selenium for retrieving data.
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        For using the scraper you can download, clone or fork the repsoitory and put the ```bitchute``` folder in the working directory of your python script.
        
        ## Usage
        
        Create a crawler object and download it the trending videos and tags.
        
        ```Python
        import bitchute as bc
        b = bc.Crawler()        
        recommended_videos, tags = b.get_recommended_videos(type='trending')
        ```
        
        You can also retrieve videos listed in ```popular``` and ```all``` from the homepage as well. These request currently return a list of videos as well as a list of tags. The latter is an artifact of the current implementation and is to be ignored. (Will be fixed later.)
        
        ```Python
        recommended_videos, tags = b.get_recommended_videos(type='popular')
        recommended_videos, tags = b.get_recommended_videos(type='all')
        ```
        
        Recommended channels can be retrieved via.
        
        ```Python
        recommended_channels = b.get_recommended_channels(extended=False)
        ```
        
        Retrieve channel information containing both the channel about as well as the videos published by the channel.
        
        ```Python
        about, videos = b.(channel_ids, get_channel_about=True, get_channel_videos=True)
        ```
        
        Search Videos (sorted by relevance only).
        
        ```Python
        videos = search(query, top=100)
        ```
