On August 13th, 2020, YouTube removed the video upload email notification feature. This script exists to mimick that feature and somewhat bring it back to life.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
- Python 3.8
- See requirements.txt for a list of required Python modules
- MongoDB connection string
- Google OAuth 2.0 Credentials
- Install Python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt - Generate Google Credentials
- Put your MongoDB connection string in
./credentials/mongo-connection-string.txt
The Notifier was developed to be deployed on a Google Cloud Function but it can run locally or (in theory) on any platform that supports Python 3.8. To deploy on gcloud, use this command: gcloud functions deploy youtube-notifier --entry-point execute
- Videos published close to script run time will not trigger a notification email
- Livestreams are interpreted as regular videos
- Premiered videos are interpreted as already available videos
- Single user support
- All subscriptions will send email notifications regardless of bell status
- Supported languages: English
- VSCode - IDE
