I'm surprised Beauty and Fashion doesn't show up as a Category Id while it shows up here: https://www.youtube.com/channels

Does anyone know if it does in fact have its own Category Id?

Too much information for me! Very interesting code and information, but I'm a student and not yet ready for it. I found a useful source in Google and I understand the basics of writing codes and more.

Is 26 - How-to & Style should be Howto & Style ? The dash "-" causes upload error.

Many thanks!

anyone please provide how to use Autobot-clipper step by step Video Plsea

Hi, can anyone tell me how can I only fetch Programming and Tech related videos?
for now, if I use 28 then it will fetch all the videos in the category of 28.
but I only want to fetch the programming-related videos.

No one noticed? 23 and 34 are both Comedy!
