brint/youtube-playlist-to-html

youtube-playlist-to-text

Convert a YouTube playlists a HTML list of videos for easy copy/paste into sites like Confluence.

YouTube updates their APIs somewhat regularly, so there's a good chance this breaks in the near future.

Requirements

Dependencies installed via pip install -r requirements.txt
Google API enabled for querying the YouTube Data API v3
Once you've enabled the API, setup an API Key
Set your YouTube API key in your environment as YOUTUBE_API_KEY

Docker Desktop licensing changed. To be careful/safe since I do work at a larger company, I've removed Docker Desktop and moved to Racher Desktop. This could be turned into a helm chart and be done better. I just needed this working real quick to generate a playlist, I know it's ugly.
