Upload the top twitch clips to youtube automatically

Automatically Upload Twitch Clips to YouTube

This repository enables you to automatically upload Twitch clips from various categories directly to YouTube. To ensure a smooth setup and execution, it's highly recommended to read through all the instructions carefully before implementing this program on your device.

Step 1: Create a Twitch Developer Account and Fetch Videos, Data

1. Sign up for a Twitch Developer account at Twitch Developer Portal https://dev.twitch.tv/.
2. In the console tab, create a new application. Set a custom name for your application and use "http://localhost" as the redirect URL (OAuth). Choose 'Website Integration' as the category.
3. Upon creating your application, a credential file will be generated. Copy the Client ID from this file and paste it into the twitch_credentials.py file in our repository.
4. Decide on the categories of Twitch clips you want to fetch. Remember, YouTube has a limit of uploading 6 videos per day, so set the maximum number of videos to 6. Refer to the Twitch API documentation for more details https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/.

Here is an example:

https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/clips/top?game=League%20of%20Legends&period=day&trending=false&limit=6&language=en

Step 2: Set Up Google Credentials

1. Visit Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/) and log in with your Google account.
2. Create a new project via the upper left corner menu.
3. Navigate to 'APIs & Services' > 'Credentials', then create a new credential as an “OAuth client ID” with the application type set to “Desktop app”.
4. Download the credential data as a JSON file, which will be used in the setup process.

Step 3: Completing Google's Audit Process

Google requires an audit for remote video uploads for security reasons. This process can be time-consuming:

1. Thoroughly review Google's terms of service and API revision history.
2. Submit your application for an audit at YouTube API Audit Form https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form.
3. Be prepared for potential follow-up requests via email. It might take multiple communications before your application is approved.

Step 4: Installation Requirements

Ensure you have the following:

1. The latest version of Python installed on your device.
2. Run the command pip install -r requirements.txt in your terminal to install the necessary dependencies.
