# What is it?

This program takes the very last video published on a PeerTube instance and pushes it to a corresponding YouTube channel.

# What the status of this?

This is an early prototype not really suited for production purposes for now:
* it still relies way too much on pre-determined value to upload the video to YouTube
* it cannot determine the playlists it needs to put them in
* it cannot determine the recording date (believe me, I tried!)
* there are still a lot of static values that I would rather not have static (like the cache directory…)
* it is 100% sync, meaning it’s clearly not optimal for now and probably won’t be for the next releases

So consider this a work in progress that will slowly get better with time

# What does it do exactly?

* it downloads the latest PeerTube video from an instance
* stores it in cache directory
* uploads it to YouTube

# What doesn’t it do exactly?

* it cannot register the original key (see below)
* it relies on a local cache despite the fact that it might well be possible to just download from PT/upload to YT at the same time (I don’t see why not in fact)
* it doesn’t retrieve ALL the original PeerTube video properties like licences, languages, categories, etc… again: early prototype

# Obtain Authorization Token from Google

That the complicated part:
* create an OAuth2.0 application with authorization for Youtube DATA Api v3 Upload
* create a OAuth2.0 client with Desktop client

You’ll need:
* the `client_id` from your OAuth2.0 client
* the `client_secret` from you OAuth2.0 client

Then enter in:

```
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?client_id=XXX.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload&response_type=code
```

And accept that your YouTube account might be modified. You’ll get a code then; enter this `curl` post:

```
curl -s \
--request POST \
--data "code=[THE_CODE]&client_id=XXX.apps.googleusercontent.com&client_secret=[THE_CLIENT_SECRET]&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&grant_type=authorization_code" \
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
```

You’ll get a Token. The only important part is the `refresh_token`

In your `tootube.toml` config file, put the `refresh_token`.
