The package that helps to upload videos on YouTube using Selenium
Project description
About
Python script to upload videos on YouTube using Selenium that allows to upload more than 61 videos per day which is the maximum [1] for all other tools that use the YouTube Data API v3.
1: Since the projects that enable the YouTube Data API have a default quota allocation of 10,000
units per day [2] and a video upload has a cost of approximately 1,600
units [3]: 10,000 / 1,600 = 6.25
.
Instead, this script is only restricted by a daily upload limit for a channel on YouTube:
100 videos is the limit in the first 24 hours, then drops to 50 every 24 hours after that. [4]
Installation
git clone https://github.com/linouk23/youtube-uploader-selenium
cd youtube-uploader-selenium
Package Usage
from youtube_uploader_selenium import YouTubeUploader
video_path = '123/rockets.flv'
metadata_path = '123/rockets_metadata.json'
uploader = YouTubeUploader(video_path, metadata_path)
was_video_uploaded, video_id = uploader.upload()
assert was_video_uploaded
Script Usage
At a minimum, just specify a video:
python3 upload.py --video rockets.flv
If it is the first time you've run the script, a browser window should popup and prompt you to provide YouTube credentials (and then simply press Enter after a successful login). A token will be created and stored in a file in the local directory for subsequent use.
Video title, description and other metadata can specified via a JSON file using the --meta
flag:
python3 upload.py --video rockets.flv --meta metadata.json
An example JSON file would be:
{
"title": "Best Of James Harden | 2019-20 NBA Season",
"description": "Check out the best of James Harden's 2019-20 season so far!"
}
