I am making a chrome extension and I need to grab the title of youtube videos. I don't want to use the youtube api.

Here is the code in my content script

CodePudding user response：

Solved it by doing var videotitle = document.title.split(" - YouTube")[0];

CodePudding user response：

You can grab the tab title in the background.js, it will return the youtube video title

chrome.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function (activeInfo) {
chrome.tabs.get(activeInfo.tabId, function (tab) {
    console.log("Title: "   tab.title);
});

});
