import csv
source = requests.get("https://www.youtube.com/feed/trending").text
soup = BeautifulSoup(source, 'lxml')
csv_file = open('YouTube Trending Titles on 12-30-18.csv','w')
csv_writer = csv.writer(csv_file)
csv_writer.writerow(['Title', 'Description'])
for content in soup.find_all('div', class_= "yt-lockup-content"):
try:
title = content.h3.a.text
print(title)
description = content.find('div', class_="yt-lockup-description yt-ui-ellipsis yt-ui-ellipsis-2").text
