youtube-update-title

Updates youtube title to match with views count and others

Usage

Make sure you have Node.js installed (LTS is recommended)

Clone or download this repository and install dependencies

git clone https://github.com/Podter/youtube-update-title.git
cd youtube-update-title
npm install

Download and rename the OAuth Client ID JSON file to client_secret.json and put in the folder (you can see how to do it here)

Rename config_example.json to config.json and put your video id there

{
  "id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ"
}

Now let's login and generate access token user_credential.json

npm run auth

You should get something like this

Open in browser and select your account

And it's time to do some testing (optional)

npm run getvideo # Get video info
npm run update1 # Update title to "hello world!"
npm run update2 # Update title to "i have ... views"

Time to modify some codes (optional)

// index.ts at line 43
newVideoTitle = `i have ${views} views, ${likes} likes, ${dislikes} dislikes and ${comments} comments.`; // change video title here

Finally, build and run the code

npm run build
npm start

Revoke (logout)

Just run this and app can't access to your account anymore

npm run revoke

Docker

Follow these steps above and then build the docker image

npm run build:docker
# or
docker build -t youtube-update-title .

and then run it

npm run start:docker
# or
docker run -d --name youtube-update-title --restart unless-stopped youtube-update-title

You don't need to do anything else because configs (.json files) already built into the image

Note: You have to rebuild image everytime when token is expired or you just make some changes

Important!!

Never push this repository or built Docker image with client_secret.json, user_credential.json or you will expose your account credential! (if someone have those files, they can do anything with your youtube account! like change your channel name or delete some videos)

If you accdient did it, immediately revoke the credential and regenerate OAuth Client ID JSON file!
