Introduction

A small utility that just create a new comment on the comment section of a single video. It is BY DESIGN simple, since I don't want developers to spam several video via several messages.

Usage

You first need to authenticate yourself via a "client_secret.json"

simple-youtube-video-commenter --videoUrl "www.youtube.com/watch?v=edtfjh" --text "This is an awesome video!" 

When executing, you may be asked a google authentication. Follow the link printed and authenticate from the browser. Then, you will be able to comment automatically for some time.

Getting started

In order to start, you need to:

  • Create a developer profile;
  • Create a project;
  • Setup a some credentials via Credentials section;
  • Download the credentials: such a file should be named using the following pattern: ^client_secret.*\.json$;
  • Enable the OAuth consent screen;
  • Go to library and enable the Youtube Data API v3;
