To repost all your YouTube subscription videos with above-average popularity on Lemmy using Python, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Get a YouTube API key[1].
- Use the YouTube API to fetch your subscription videos[2].
- Determine the popularity threshold (e.g., average views, likes, or comments).
- Filter the videos based on the popularity threshold.
- Use Pythorhead to interact with Lemmy and post the filtered videos[3].
Here’s a sample Python script to achieve this:
import requests
from pythorhead import Lemmy
# Replace with your YouTube API key and Lemmy credentials
YOUTUBE_API_KEY = 'your_youtube_api_key'
LEMMY_USERNAME = 'your_lemmy_username'
LEMMY_PASSWORD = 'your_lemmy_password'
# Fetch your YouTube subscription videos
def get_youtube_subscriptions(api_key):
# Replace with your YouTube channel ID
channel_id = 'your_youtube_channel_id'
url = f'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/subscriptions?part=snippet&channelId={channel_id}&maxResults=50&key={api_key}'
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()
return data['items']
# Determine the popularity threshold
def get_popularity_threshold(videos):
# Calculate the average views, likes, or comments of the videos
# Replace this with your preferred popularity metric
pass
# Filter videos based on the popularity threshold
def filter_videos(videos, threshold):
# Filter the videos based on the popularity threshold
# Replace this with your preferred popularity metric
pass
# Post filtered videos on Lemmy using Pythorhead
def post_videos_on_lemmy(videos):
lemmy = Lemmy("https://lemmy.dbzer0.com")
lemmy.log_in(LEMMY_USERNAME, LEMMY_PASSWORD)
community_id = lemmy.discover_community("your_lemmy_community")
for video in videos:
title = video['snippet']['title']
url = f'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={video["id"]}'
lemmy.post.create(community_id, title, url)
# Main script
if __name__ == '__main__':
videos = get_youtube_subscriptions(YOUTUBE_API_KEY)
threshold = get_popularity_threshold(videos)
filtered_videos = filter_videos(videos, threshold)
post_videos_on_lemmy(filtered_videos)
Replace the placeholders with your YouTube API key, Lemmy credentials, and YouTube channel ID. You’ll also need to implement the get_popularity_threshold
and filter_videos
functions based on your preferred popularity metric (e.g., views, likes, or comments).
Please note that this script is just a starting point, and you might need to modify it according to your specific requirements.
