Requests vs Selenium Python in Youtube

Question

When I use Selenium library to find the length of related channel in YouTube channel Page it gives me 12. But when I use Req

Answer 1

Every time I've run into an issue like this, it was because JS was creating the data I was after. If this is the case, you likely won't be able to use requests as it can't handle the JS.

If you navigate to that youtube page in a browser, you can see that "ytd-mini-channel-renderer" exists if you inspect it, but if you view source, you get 0 results. The code you can see from "view source" is what requests is getting.
