Using java to connect to data found on internet
This was meant as a fun little practice to engage with writing code that engages with data that can be found on the internet.
I figured I would write a little script that would return how many subscribers a Youtube content creator based on the updated
information that can be found on SocialBlade. First the user enters the name of the Youtuber's channel, which is then appended
to the Social Blade Url to direct the program right to that Youtuber's SocialBlade page. Then the page is read down, all the while
being converted from HTML till it comes to that person's subsriber count. It is then recorded and printed. There is exception handling
if the user does not enter correct credentials or no credentials, which might involve some research on the person's behalf. However if they
have to do research then they might as well just look up the person's subscribers themself, so this needs to be improved to allow versatility
to have any viable time saving usage. But for now just a fun little afternoon coding experience.
