Example

Here is an example of how the videos look like on YouTube. Majority of these videos are made using this repo. Only a couple of titles and thumbnails have been changed.

Installation

Download the repo as ZIP and unzip it somewhere accessible.

To install all the packages needed, you have to run this command. Has to be in same directory as the requirements.txt and main.py files are.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download geckodriver and place the .exe file inside C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37.

Configuration

Creating your Twitch Application

Go to https://dev.twitch.tv/console and register a new application. The name of the application does not matter. Set "OAuth Redirect URLs" to https://twitchapps.com/tokengen/ Set category to "Application Integration" or "Other". You will now see your Client ID, copy this ID. Go to config.py, find CLIENT_ID and paste it inside apostrophes.

Getting your OAuth Token

Now head over to https://twitchapps.com/tokengen/ and paste in your Client ID. Scopes does not matter in our case. Click "Connect" and then authorize with Twitch. Copy your OAuth Token, go to config.py, find OAUTH_TOKEN and paste it inside the apostrophes.

Setting up Firefox

Open Firefox and create a new profile for Selenium, (this is not needed, but highly recommended). Go to about:profiles and click "Create a New profile", name it "Selenium" or whatever. When you have done that, copy the "Root Directory" path of that profile and paste it into the ROOT_PROFILE_PATH in config.py. Now click "Launch profile in new browser". Go to YouTube and login to the account you want to use with twitchtube. Voilà, you are now set. Don't use Selenium as your default profile.

Adding and removing games or channels to LIST

LIST MUST MATCH MODE. IF MODE IS SET TO GAME, THERE SHOULD ONLY BE GAMES INSIDE OF LIST, SAME GOES FOR CHANNEL.

If you want to add a game or channel, you simply write the name of the game or channel, how it appears on Twitch, inside the LIST in config.py. If you want to add Rust for example, then LIST should look like this:

LIST = ["Rust", "Just Chatting", "Team Fortress 2"]

Last entry in the list should not have a comma.

If you only want to have one game or channel, LIST should look like this:

LIST = ["Just Chatting"]

Example:

MODE = "game"

LIST = ["Just Chatting"]

TITLE = "Most Viewed Just Chatting Clips - 14.02.2021"

DESCRIPTIONS = {
    "Just Chatting": "The most viewed Just Chatting clips today.\n\n{}\n #Twitch #TwitchHighlights #Just Chatting"
}

THUMBNAILS = {
    "Just Chatting": "path/to/file.jpg"
}

# Currently not supported
TAGS = {
    "Just Chatting": "just chatting, just chatting twitch, just chatting twitch highlights"
}

MODE = "channel"

LIST = ["xQcOW"]

TITLE = "Most Viewed xQc Clips - 14.02.2021"

DESCRIPTIONS = {
    "xQcOW": "The most viewed xQc clips today.\n\n{}\n #Twitch #TwitchHighlights #xQcOW"
}

THUMBNAILS = {
    "xQcOW": "path/to/file.jpg"
}

# Currently not supported
TAGS = {
    "xQcOW": "xqc, xqc twitch, xqc twitch highlights"
}

Running

To run the bot, use this command. Has to be in same directory as the requirements.txt and main.py files are.

python main.py

Note

I've only tested this bot using Windows 10 and Python 3.7.3, but should work with other operating systems, and Python 3 versions.
