### Overview:
Currently, the script API for platforms like YouTube lacks functionality to access and modify publish settings programmatically. This feature request aims to enhance the API by providing developers with the capability to manage publish settings through extended script functionality.

Problem Statement:

As it stands, developers working with YouTube and other social networks via script APIs face limitations in automating the publishing process. Specifically, there's no direct method to access and adjust publish settings such as visibility, scheduling, or audience targeting through scripts.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce new endpoints or methods in the script API that allow developers to access and modify publish settings for content on platforms like YouTube. This enhancement would empower developers to automate and customize the publishing workflow according to their specific needs.

Benefits:

  1. Streamlined Automation: With access to publish settings via the script API, developers can automate the entire content publishing process, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
  2. Customized Publishing Workflows: Developers can implement tailored publishing workflows, including scheduling content releases, adjusting visibility settings, and targeting specific audience segments.
  3. Improved Efficiency: By integrating publish settings management into scripts, developers can save time and resources, increasing overall efficiency in content management tasks.

Implementation Considerations:

  1. Ensure compatibility with existing script APIs and authentication mechanisms.
  2. Provide comprehensive documentation and examples to facilitate adoption.
  3. Consider security implications and implement necessary safeguards to protect user data and content.

Additional Notes:

This feature enhancement would not only benefit developers seeking to automate content publishing but also contribute to the broader goal of enhancing the functionality and flexibility of platform APIs. Your feedback and contributions to this feature request are highly appreciated. Let's work together to make content management more efficient and accessible through script automation!

No further changes or improvements to Premiere Pro’s ExtendScript API are planned or scheduled. Any such changes will be reconsidered, once Premiere Pro moves to UXP-based extensibility.
