The project involves the development of a Telegram bot utilizing the Youtube Data API v3. The primary purpose of the bot is to facilitate the seamless uploading of videos to YouTube.

For more details about the original project, you can refer to the GitHub repository.

Note: The modifications made to the code aim to enhance its functionality and ensure compatibility with the most recent library versions.

Activate Python virtual Environment

python3 -m venv venv

Go to Venv

source venv/bin/activate

Install requirements

 pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run bot

Lets run our bot for the first time!

python3 -m bot

If you did everything correctly, the bot should be running. Go do /start to see if the bot is live or not. Follow the instructions provided by bot to setup authorisation and to start uploading.

1. Public Git Repository:

   • Add this public Git repository URL: https://github.com/odysseusmax/utube.git

2. Name Your Service:

   • Provide a name for your service.
   • In the "Advanced" tab, add a secret file named .env with all required environment variables.

3. Create Web Service:

   • Set up your web service configuration.

4. Wait for Deployment:

   • Monitor the deployment progress.
   • Once completed, your site will be .

5. Configure Cron Job:

   • Copy the deployed website URL.
   • Create an account on CRON JOB if you haven't already.
   • Create a new cron job, providing a title and pasting your website URL.
   • Click on CREATE or firstly, test run the cron job and then Create.

Notes:

1. Your bot is now live 24/7.
2. A cron job is set up to address Render's free service limitations, which may cause the service to stop every 15 minutes.

🚀 Active Development: I am currently actively working on this project, implementing new features, fixing issues, and making continuous improvements. Your contributions and feedback are always welcome!

1. With the Youtube Data API you are awarded with 10,000 points of requests. For one video upload it costs 1605 points, regardless of file size, which calculates to about 6 uploads daily. Once you have exhausted your daily points, you have to wait till daily reset. Resets happens at 0:00 PST, i.e. 12:30 IST. So make your uploads count.

2. Uploading copyright contents will leads to immediate blocking of the video.

3. By default, all the videos are uploaded as private with random category id unless you provide UPLOAD_MODE and VIDEO_CATEGORY. You may change it after youtube processes the video.
