Using a WebSourcesScript IS "a GUI-style, noob-friendly way of scraping data."

All you have to do is to follow the procedure for WSS [as mentioned here](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/web-sources-archive/1681#installing-tag-sources-2):

> ### Installing Tag Sources
> 
> To install one of the web sources here, simply download the file and extract it into your web sources directory:
> 
> 1. Open the configuration folder via **File → Open configuration folder**
> 2. Navigate to `data\sources`
> 3. Extract the downloaded Tag Source file (.src)

Then you can call it from the main menu **Tag Sources** or with a right-click on your selected files and then **Tag Sources**.

[In this specific case](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/ws-youtube-requires-youtube-api-key/62585) you have to obtain your own API-Key with your own Google account first and enter it once inside the WS script in the lines #6 and #7 at the yellow highlighted position:
