📹 YouTube AI Uploader 🤖

An automation tool built using Node.js, Puppeteer, and Gemini AI, designed to download videos, generate YouTube-optimized metadata (title, description, hashtags), and upload them automatically — all without touching your mouse or keyboard!

🚀 Features

1. 🔽 Download Videos

   • Fetches video URLs from your MongoDB database.
   • Downloads videos into the media/ folder using APIHut API.
   • Just run:

     npm run download
     

2. 📤 Upload Videos to YouTube

   • Automatically uploads videos from the media/ folder to YouTube.
   • Uses Gemini API to generate viral titles, descriptions, and hashtags.
   • Fully automates the upload via Puppeteer: no manual interaction needed.
   • Supports batch uploading and configuration via settings.js.
   • To start upload:

     npm run upload
     

3. 🧹 Flush Videos Folder

   • Deletes all videos from the videos/ folder (cleanup helper).
   • Run:

     npm run flush
     

💡 For best YouTube reach, it's recommended to upload 1 video per day instead of bulk uploading all at once (though it's supported).

⚙️ Folder Structure

• media/ → Downloaded videos (used for uploading)
• videos/ → Raw videos (must be moved to videos/ before uploading)
• settings.js → Control visibility (public/private/unlisted), audience (made for kids or not), etc.

🧠 How It Works

1. Pulls videos from your MongoDB DB and downloads them via APIHut.
2. Uses the filename as a base to generate metadata using Gemini API:
   • Title
   • Description
   • Hashtags
3. Opens a Chromium browser via Puppeteer.
4. Uploads videos to YouTube with complete automation.
