upload-socials 0.2.1

A Python library to automate video uploads to YouTube.

🚀 upload-socials

Streamline your content workflow by automating video uploads to YouTube with this Python library.

---

⚠️ Prerequisites

This is a GUI automation library and requires a specific setup to function:

1. Screen Resolution: Your screen resolution should ideally be 1920x1080. The browser window should be maximized.
2. Reference Images: GUI automation works by finding images on the screen. You must provide your own folders of reference images (e.g., screenshots of the 'Upload', 'Next', and 'Publish' buttons for YouTube).
3. Platform Language: The YouTube website must be set to English for the default image names to match.

This library is best suited for developers comfortable with tuning GUI automation scripts.

Installation

pip install upload-socials

Quick Start

Create a folder for your automation images. For example: C:\my_automation_images\youtube. Then, take screenshots of the buttons needed for the upload process and save them in that folder (e.g., create.png, next.png, publish.png).

from upload_socials import upload_youtube

# The absolute path to your folder of reference images for YouTube
YT_IMAGE_PATH = r"C:\\my_automation_images\\youtube"

# Video details
video_file = r"C:\\path\\to\\my_awesome_video.mp4"
video_title = "My First Automated Upload!"
video_desc = "This was uploaded using the upload-socials Python library."
thumb_file = r"C:\\path\\to\\my_thumbnail.png"
video_tags = "python,automation,coding"

# Call the function
upload_youtube(
    filepath=video_file,
    title=video_title,
    image_path=YT_IMAGE_PATH,
    description=video_desc,
    thumbnail=thumb_file,
    tags=video_tags
)

API Overview
