Build a YouTube Video Search Tool with Python

Level: Beginner

Project Task

Create a YouTube video search tool that:

• Uses the youtube-search-python library to search for videos

• Takes a search keyword from the user as input

• Retrieves the top 10 most relevant video results

• Displays each video’s title in a numbered list

• Works without requiring API keys or authentication

• Uses a simple, lightweight library for quick searches

• Formats the results in a clean, readable format

This project gives you hands-on practice with third-party Python libraries, web scraping concepts, and building search functionality — essential skills for creating content discovery tools.

Expected Output

The script should search YouTube for a given keyword (e.g., dinosaurs) and display the titles of the top 10 videos that show for that keyword:
