Or the easy way of directly deploying to heroku

Deploy

Development Status

This project is actively maintained and will continue so until I'm tired of it.

Special notes

  • With the Youtube Data API you are awarded with 10,000 points of requests. For one video upload it costs 1605 points, regardless of file size, which calculates to about 6 uploads daily. Once you have exhausted your daily points, you have to wait till daily reset. Resets happens at 0:00 PST, i.e. 12:30 IST. So make your uploads count.

  • Uploading copyright contents will leads to immediate blocking of the video.

  • By default, all the videos are uploaded as private with random category id unless you provide UPLOAD_MODE and VIDEO_CATEGORY. You may change it after youtube processes the video.
