So, whether you are into a similar business or planning to start your own adult website, this blog can be your savior. Let’s discover ‘How to build a website like xhamster?’ with step-by-step process.

Finding websites for scraping videos and other details

Let's open your browser and open your favorite website in inspect mode and check if the website gives you this type of feature or not.

Video Thumbnail

A video cover photo is more important because visitors can see the cover image of the video.

Redirect link

Redirect link: it's important to redirect users to a main video because you do not host any video; you just scrape data from another website, so when the user clicks on the link, redirect him to a main video.

Video Preview

So video preview is when visitors hover on the cover image of the video, so small preview video plays automatically on hover.

Title & Duration

Video Title and Length to show the user

Check website details using the inspection tool

Let's open the website in inspect mode and properly inspect the elements when you find the video container div.

Check This Small Video Demo For how to inspect elements

Now right-click on the div container where all videos are stored.

And select the Outer HTML option. After copying, open VS Code, create a new file, and save it.

Now create a Python script for scraping data.

If you don't know Python, don't worry. I'm using ChatGPT to write a script. I will give you my prompt, but you need to make some changes because this prompt does not work for every website.

Write a Python script that reads HTML content from a text file and scrapes specific data from it. The HTML structure contains a <div> element with the class list_videos and the id list_videos. Inside this <div>, there are multiple <div> elements with the class item. For each item, extract the following:

    Trailer URL from the data-trailer_url attribute within the <div class="i_img">.
    Main URL from the href attribute within the <a> tag that has the class item_link.
    Image source from the src attribute of the <img> tag.
    Video title from the text inside the <div class="title"> tag. Make sure to remove any special characters like \u2013.

After extracting this data, save it in a JSON file with keys:

    "VideoPre" for the trailer URL
    "mainUrl" for the main URL
    "imgSrc" for the image source
    "title" for the video title

Ensure the script reads the HTML content from a text file (input_file.txt), processes the data, and saves the results to a JSON file (video_data.json).

ChatGPT gives me this script, and it works properly.

import json
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# Function to remove special characters from the title
def clean_text(text):
    return text.replace(u'\u2013', '').strip()

# Read the HTML content from a text file
with open('input_file.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
    html_content = file.read()

# Parse the HTML content using BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_content, 'html.parser')

# Find the div with class list_videos and id list_videos
list_videos = soup.find('div', class_='list_videos', id='list_videos')

# Initialize an empty list to store the scraped data
data_list = []

# Loop through all divs with class 'item' inside the 'list_videos' div
for item in list_videos.find_all('div', class_='item'):
    # Extract the trailer URL
    video_pre = item.find('div', class_='i_img').get('data-trailer_url', '')

    # Extract the main URL
    main_url = item.find('a', class_='item_link').get('href', '')

    # Extract the image source
    img_src = item.find('img').get('src', '')

    # Extract the title and clean it
    title = item.find('div', class_='title').text
    title_cleaned = clean_text(title)

    # Store the data in a dictionary
    video_data = {
        'VideoPre': video_pre,
        'mainUrl': main_url,
        'imgSrc': img_src,
        'title': title_cleaned
    }

    # Append the data to the list
    data_list.append(video_data)

# Save the extracted data to a JSON file
with open('video_data.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as json_file:
    json.dump(data_list, json_file, ensure_ascii=False, indent=4)

print("Data has been successfully scraped and saved to video_data.json")

and get this type of JSON data

Let's create a website.

I will give you my template. It is basic, and you need to edit or customize the UI.
