Development Status

🚀 Active Development: I am currently actively working on this project, implementing new features, fixing issues, and making continuous improvements. Your contributions and feedback are always welcome!

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.
