Yougo-Premium is a command line tool written in Go that allows you to subscribe to Youtube channels and download their latest videos to your machine. It tracks the last time you downloaded new videos for a channel so you only get the newest videos.
Currently the tool is only configured to work with a Youtube Application API key, you won't be able to log into your account locally using OAuth. The tool will look for the environment variable YOUTUBE_API_KEY which should be set to the aforementioned key. The tool only accesses public data so you don't need any specfic permissions or anything like that.
Google's documentation outlines how to create the credentials but the gist of it is:
- Create a new project in the Google Cloud Platform console.
- Under
APIs & Services, enable the YouTube Data API v3 for that project. - Under
APIs & Services > Credentials, create credentials and select API key.
Build the binary.
go build cmd/yougo-premium/main.go -o yougo
