opplast

Upload videos to YouTube using geckodriver, Firefox profiles and Selenium. Easy to setup and use. Repository is inspired by youtube_uploader_selenium.

"Opplast" is norwegian for "upload".

Installing

Install and update using pip:

pip install opplast

Download geckodriver and place it inside C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37. If you are using another version of Python, you place it inside there.

Configuration

Open Firefox, and go to about:profiles. Click "Create a New profile" and name it "Selenium" or whatever. Copy the "Root Directory" path of the new profile. This is your root_profile_directory. Now you can "Launch profile in new browser", go to YouTube, and login to the account you want to upload with.

Upload(root_profile_directory: str, timeout=TIMEOUT, headless=True, debug=True) -> None

timeout: int - seconds Selenium should wait, when getting pages and inserting data. Default: 3.

headless: bool - whether or not you want to see the GUI. Default: True.

headless: bool - whether or not you want to see the debug info. Default: True.

Usage

from opplast import Upload


upload = Upload(
    "C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/random.selenium",
    timeout=3,
    headless=True,
    debug=True,
)

was_uploaded, video_id = upload.upload(
    {
        "file": "path/to/video.mp4",
        "title": "My YouTube Title",
        "description": "My YouTube Description",
    }
)
