I often find that I buy products from companies that sponsor creators I watch. However, I do not use their links and whenever I buy their product, I have to go back for the link. This project is meant to simplify the process of finding affiliate links from my favorite creators.
This product consists of two parts, a python script that utilizes Youtube's API and webscraping to identify sponsored videos and collect affiliate links. This is then uploaded to a database which is then accessible through our website.
We used YouTube APIs and web scraping to upload data to our postgresql database which we hosted through vercel alongside our nextjs website.
We had issues fetching data from our database and rendering it on the client side.
We stuck through our issues and were eventually able to create a minimum viable product.
We learned that we should look more into the technologies that we are planning to use prior to using them in an actual project environment.
We intend to use machine learning technologies to make the webscraping more reliable and versatile.
