WebScraping Video on a Youtube Channel Using Beautiful Soup-CodePudding

How do I get the video title and links of the videos on a youtube channel?

What I want is to build a web scraper with BeautifulSoup that extracts all the titles, views, dislikes and likes, comments and dates published from videos on a youtube channel.

The approach I'm using is to first extract the titles of the video ad URL then use the URL to get the details about the video.

So far I've not had any luck. below is a test url

url = 'https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexTheAnalyst/videos'
