Auto update YT Descriptions using the YouTube API

[dipamsen]

For now, this script only allows updating one video at a time, because of safety reasons, as well as the YouTube videos.update API has a high quota cost.

Obviously, this is untested code. (I have only tested the updateDescription function with a video on my channel.)

Hi @dipamsen, super excited about this! How about we set up a "dummy" channel to test this out on before deploying it with the CT channel itself? We could maybe hardcode a single video ID and use that over and over again? Let me know, I can work on that!

[dipamsen]

The current script is coded such that it only updates a single description at a time (to minimise damage), I think it can be directly tested on the actual channel on a obscure/non popular video, and in the worst case scenario where the description is lost, it can be manually restored via the generated description (yt-desc).

This way the entire workflow can be tested which involves getting the yt I'd of the video etc

Apologies for the delay @dipamsen I hope to try this out soon! Thanks for your patience!
