Managing YouTube Videos Through Claude Code
Claude Code manages YouTube from the terminal through Data API v3: upload, metadata, thumbnails, playlists, stats. Public on GitHub.
This app is open on GitHub. Fork it, use it and build on it. I like giving it to the community.
About the project
I put the podcast on YouTube too, and I don't want to upload and fill everything in by hand. Claude Code does it from the terminal: uploads the video, fills in the metadata and thumbnail, adds it to a playlist, and pulls the stats.
It's one link in my podcast publishing chain, alongside the transcription and Podbean tools.
Under the hood it's a Python CLI over the YouTube Data API v3. Public on GitHub, fork it for yourself.
