Get Data From Youtube Videos with Python (tkinter gui)

This code lets you get the data from a video on youtune in terms of views and subscription (and author) of the video. It is not mine, I just added the code to save the json file with the date and a progressive number, in case you save more files in a day and a little graphic interface. It could be useful if you want to take trace of the views on your videos and do some statistics, even if there are a lot of statistics that youtube lets you know, but in this case you can personalize them and have access to them without having to go in youtube.
