I'm trying to create a chrome extension which are made in JS, however I built the main part of the code in python because it is the language I know, and I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is even possible in JS. Is there a way to take in a variable I get from JS, use it to run a python function, and then continue with the JS code?
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(activeTab){
chrome.tabs.getSelected(null, function(tab) {
var tabId = tab.id;
tabUrl = tab.url;
id = tabUrl.split("=")[1];
//call python func here
});
var newURL = "frame.html";
chrome.tabs.create({ url: newURL});
});
from youtube_transcript_api import YouTubeTranscriptApi
import webbrowser
def func(id):
html_file = open('frame.html','w')
list = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(id)
webbrowser.get('C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s')
data = '<html>\n<head>\n<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">\n</head>\n<body>\n<p>\n'
for i in list:
data += i.get('text') + ' '
data += '</p>\n</body>\n</html>'
html_file.write(data)
html_file.close()
#func(id from java)
