# youtube-up

## WIP
Upload videos to YouTube using the internal YouTube API.

# Installation

From [PyPI:](https://pypi.org/project/youtube-up/)
`pip install youtube-up`

# Documentation

https://7x11x13.xyz/youtube-up/youtube_up

# Examples

## Upload a video
```python
from youtube_up import AllowCommentsEnum, Metadata, PrivacyEnum, YTUploaderSession

uploader = YTUploaderSession.from_cookies_txt("cookies/cookies.txt")
metadata = Metadata(
title="Video title",
description="Video description",
privacy=PrivacyEnum.PUBLIC,
made_for_kids=False,
allow_comments_mode=AllowCommentsEnum.HOLD_ALL,
)
uploader.upload("video.webm", metadata)
```
Note that for Enum-type parameters we can either pass the Enum itself (as shown above),
or the Enum value, or the Enum key, as a string. For example, instead of writing

`allow_comments_mode=AllowCommentsEnum.HOLD_ALL`

we could instead write `allow_comments_mode="HOLD_ALL"`
or `allow_comments_mode="APPROVED_COMMENTS"`

## Upload multiple videos
```python
from youtube_up import Metadata, YTUploaderSession

uploader = YTUploaderSession.from_cookies_txt("cookies/cookies.txt")
metadata_1 = Metadata(
title="Video 1",
)
metadata_2 = Metadata(
title="Video 2",
)
uploader.upload("video1.webm", metadata_1)
uploader.upload("video2.webm", metadata_2)
```

## Upload to a new or existing playlist
```python
from youtube_up import Metadata, YTUploaderSession, Playlist

uploader = YTUploaderSession.from_cookies_txt("cookies/cookies.txt")
metadata = Metadata(
title="Video 1",
playlists=[
Playlist(
"Songs by me",
description="Playlist that will only be created if "
"no playlist exists with the title 'Songs by me'",
create_if_title_doesnt_exist=True,
create_if_title_exists=False,
),
Playlist(
"test playlist",
description="Playlist that video will be added to "
"only if it exists already. This description does "
"nothing.",
create_if_title_doesnt_exist=False,
create_if_title_exists=False,
),
Playlist(
"Album",
description="Playlist will be created even if there"
" is already a playlist with the name 'Album'"
create_if_title_doesnt_exist=True,
create_if_title_exists=True,
),
],
)
uploader.upload("video.webm", metadata)
```

## CLI
youtube-up comes with a CLI app for uploading videos. For example, if we wanted to
create a public video with the title "Video title", we would execute the following command:
`youtube-up video video.webm --title="Video title" --cookies_file="cookies/cookies.txt" --privacy="PUBLIC"`

The app can also take a JSON file as input. For example, the following JSON file would upload
one video to a new or existing playlist called "Music" and one video which is set to premiere
on December 25th, 2023 at 5 PM (local time).

```json
[
{
"file": "song.webm",
"metadata": {
"title": "New song",
"privacy": "PUBLIC",
"playlists": [
{
"title": "Music"
}
]
}
},
{
"file": "premiere.webm",
"metadata": {
"title": "Special Announcement",
"scheduled_upload": "2023-12-25T17:00:00",
"premiere_countdown_duration": "ONE_MIN",
"premiere_theme": "BRIGHT"
}
}
]
```

If we wanted the video to premiere at 5 PM GMT, would could have written "2023-12-25T17:00:00"
instead. We then run

`youtube-up json metadata.json --cookies_file="cookies/cookies.txt"`

to upload these videos.
