How to run this scripts?

Copy file to your computer/server/online IDE and run in command line:

python filename.py

For example:

python youtube_video_search.py

If you haven't used Python before, you have several ways to get started:

Variant 1

Install Python in your computer using this instruction https://realpython.com/installing-python/

Variant 2

Open this repository in Gitpod https://gitpod.io#https://github.com/cipher387/Python-osint-automation-examples

(To run it for the first time, you need to log in to your Github, Gitlab, or Bitbucket account)

Variant 3

Install a Linux VM with Python preinstalled.

If you are doing OSINT, I recommend you start with Tsurugi Acquire https://archive.org/download/tsurugi_acquire_2021.1/tsurugi_acquire_2021.1.iso

For launch VM in Windows and old MacBooks you may use Virtual Box https://www.virtualbox.org

For new MacBooks with M1 — UTM https://mac.getutm.app

(if your computer has modest technical resources, you can specify in the VM settings for Tsurugi Linux Acquire 2-4 GB of RAM, but run it only in text mode)

Saving results to .txt file

If you want to save the results to a text file, add "filename.txt" after the command to run the script
