A youtube to reddit bot based on youtube API v3

To get this bot working, do the following:

1. Install Python 3.4 and download Arandabot source code

2. Go in to the settings.json file and update the following information:

• Which youtube channels you would like to add
• If you would like the bot to pull all your subscribed channels
• If you would like to the bot to loop forever or pull n times

3. Create a client_secrets.json in the directory the bot is insalled by doing the following:

• Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project
• Create a project if not already
• In project go to: APIs & auth > Credentials
• Click "Create new Client ID"
• Choose installed application > Other
• Click "Download JSON"
• Name file "client_secrets.json" and put in same directory as the bot

4. Get Reddit client id and secrets:

• Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/
• Create an application which is a "script"
• You'll need to set the "redirect uri" to "http://127.0.0.1:65010/authorize_callback"
• Under your app name you will see "personal use script" and under that is your client id
• Take your client id and secret and put them under # Appinfo in oauth.txt under "App info"

5. Install dependencies from requirements.txt, on Windows it looks like this:

• C:\Python34\Scripts\pip3.4.exe install -r requirements.txt

6. Run main.py in your terminal or windows command prompt (you you can copy the output) and get oauth2 webtoken

• The console will output a Google web page you need to go to and grab the token
• Copy and paste the token back in to console
• The console will then open the browser and go to reddit where you will need to click "authorise app"
