YouTube FastAPI wrapper

I have my own little YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@darxyde), and I just realised there is no easy way to rename multiple videos in an ordered way like you would with your mp3 files for example.

YouTube provides an API to manage the videos, and as such I think this could be an interesting project to do.

My plan is to use Python and fastAPI to create a wrapper around YouTube's own api.

Available endpoints

Authorization

• /authorize
• /oauth2callback
• /revoke
• /clear

YouTube

• /channel
• /playlists
• /videos

TODO:

• refactor authorization calls to use FastAPI's Depends
• write a more dynamic 'last_path'

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9+

• The pip package management tool

  sudo apt install python3-pip

• The Google APIs Client Library for Python:

  pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client

• The google-auth-oauthlib and google-auth-httplib2 libraries for user authorization

  pip install --upgrade google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2

• FastAPI

  pip install fastapi

• Uvicorn

  pip install "uvicorn[standard]"

• DotEnv

  pip install python-dotenv

• ItsDangerous (requirement for starlette)

  pip install itsdangerous
