This is a very simple github action that will post to your youtube channel.

Please see the setup steps on the pages:

• setup-youtubeuploader github action
• youtubeuploader

You'll need to configure two github secret variables called:

• CLIENT_SECRETS_B64
• REQUEST_TOKEN_B64

These are the Base64 versions of the client_secrets.json and request_token.json files.

base64 -i client_secrets.json -o client_secrets.b64
base64 -i request.token -o request.token.b64

Follow the instruction at https://github.com/porjo/youtubeuploader

This github action will run on a git push to the main branch.

To run correctly, ONLY provide the URL of the video to download in the commit message.

(There is an if statement to look for the text https)

This action will then publish the video to your channel with the details in the metadata.json file.

This uses the GO tool youtubeuploader from porjo.

An example of the metadata.json file would be:

{
  "title": "my test title",
  "description": "my test description",
  "tags": ["test tag1", "test tag2"],
  "privacyStatus": "private",
  "madeForKids": false,
  "embeddable": true,
  "license": "creativeCommon",
  "publicStatsViewable": true,
  "publishAt": "2017-06-01T12:05:00+02:00",
  "categoryId": "10",
  "recordingdate": "2017-05-21",
  "playlistIds":  ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"],
  "playlistTitles":  ["my test playlist"],
  "language":  "fr"
}
