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!"
}
