Thanks.

Answer 1

Similarly to Matej M, but more simply:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


def get_video_name(id: str):
    """
    Return the name of the video as it appears on YouTube, given the video id.
    """
    r = requests.get(f'https://youtube.com/watch?v={id}')
    r.raise_for_status()
    soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, "lxml")
    return soup.title.string


if __name__ == '__main__':
    js = get_video_name("RJqimlFcJsM")
    print('\n\n')
    print(js)
