## Introduction

|
|

The NewPipeExtractor is a Java framework for scraping video platform websites in a way that they can be accedes like a normal API. The extractor is the core of the popular Youtube and streaming App [NewPipe](https://newpipe.schabi.org) for android, however it's system independent and also available for other platforms.

The beauty behind this framework is it takes care about the extraction process, error handling etc., so you can take care about what is important: Scraping the website.

It focuses on making it possible for the creator of a scraper for a streaming service to create best outcome by least amount of written code.
