Purpose

See here for a writeup on why I created this

Prerequisites

You will need a YouTube API key. To obtain one, follow Google's documentation on the matter: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started

Setup

Create a file named "config.yaml" based off "config.yaml.example" with the following fields filled in:

• recipients:: Email addresses of recipients
• sender_email:: Email address of sender
• sender_password:: Email password of sender
• smtp_host: SMTP host of sender's email
• youtube_api_key: Your YouTube API Key

Ensure your "config.yaml" file is in the same directory as "main.py"

Packages

• PyYAML for parsing config YAML
• Jinja2 for generating HTML
• google-api-python-client for interacting with the YouTube v3 API

To install packages run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

It is recommended you do this within a virtual environment.

Usage

To run:

• $ ./main.py if /usr/bin/python3 is a valid path
• $ python3 main.py otherwise

Notes

Email code is tailored to specific email servers - it may require modification to work with your setup.
