InfoExtractor is a framework to extract relevant information from various sources such as blogs, YouTube, and Twitter.

As a web service, InfoExtractor helps one extract structured information from a supplied URL. For example, one can enter a URL of a YouTube video and InfoExtractor will extract a number of associated attributes (title, tags, view count, comments, etc.) in a format that can be easily exported, analyzed, or plugged into something else.
