Pre-Text:

This is a simple autmation that helps to understand how API works and how to use them on a real life example.

How to Install

1. Create a python virtual environment.

2. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/DivyaKumarBaid/Youtube_promotion_on_twitter.git or download the repository.

3. Go to the cloned/downloaded directory cd Youtube_promotion_on_twitter

4. Create a project on google cloud console and enable youtube API V3

5. Copy the API Acess Key of the API and paste it in the api_key under youtube api in main.py file

6. If you have a developer account in twitter then create or generate the api keys (consumer_key,consumer_key_secert,access_key,access_key_secret)

   If you dont have the developers account then you have to apply for it, it will take a day or two to be approved

7. You have to get the youtube channel Id you want to promote (you will get it from the https link e.g.https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID )

8. Run it.

Note

To minimise the calling to youtube API as it has low quota, I have set the interval between any call of youtube api to be 1hr. However you can change it as you like.
