```js
const fs = require('fs')
const { init, upload } = require('youtube-studio')
await init({ ... }) // read more below (Preparing Authentication)
const result = await upload({
channelId: 'UCzQUP1qoWDoEbmsQxvdjxgQ', // your channelId
stream: fs.createReadStream('./example=video.mp4'), // your video stream
newTitle: 'new video 1', // optional, your video name
newDescription: 'Please, subscribe!', // optional, your video description
newPrivacy: 'PRIVATE', // optional (PRIVATE by default), ('PUBLIC', 'UNLISTED', 'PRIVATE' options available)
isDraft: false, // optional, video can be a draft (false by default)

const { init, setEndScreen, endScreen } = require('youtube-studio')
await init({ ... }) // read more below (Preparing Authentication)
const videoLengthSec = 1404
const TWENTY_SEC_BEFORE_END_MS = (videoLengthSec - 20) * 1000
const result = await setEndScreen(VIDEO_ID, TWENTY_SEC_BEFORE_END_MS, [
{ ...endScreen.TYPE_RECENT_UPLOAD }, // recent upload in top left position
{ ...endScreen.POSITION_BOTTOM_RIGHT, ...endScreen.TYPE_SUBSCRIBE(CHANNEL_ID) }, // subscribe button
{ ...endScreen.POSITION_TOP_RIGHT, ...endScreen.TYPE_BEST_FOR_VIEWERS, ...endScreen.DELAY(500) }, // best for viewers delayed with 0.5 sec
{ ...endScreen.POSITION_BOTTOM_LEFT, ...endScreen.TYPE_PLAYLIST(PLAYLIST_ID), ...endScreen.DELAY(1000) } // playlist delayed with 1 sec
])
console.log(result)

const { init, setEndScreen, endScreen } = require('youtube-studio')
await init({ ... }) // read more below (Preparing Authentication)
const result = await getVideo(VIDEO_ID)
const video = result.videos[0]
console.log(video.status) // VIDEO_STATUS_PROCESSED
console.log(video.monetization.adMonetization.effectiveStatus) // VIDEO_MONETIZING_STATUS_MONETIZING_WITH_LIMITED_ADS

## Preparing Authentication
#### 1. Authenticate to studio.youtube.com
It's recommended to do it in a browser's **private mode**.
#### 2. Open dev tools and copy specific cookie values
**IMPORTANT**: you need to filter cookies by `.youtube.com` domain.
Here's a list of required cookies:
- `SID`
- `HSID`
- `SSID`
- `APISID`
- `SAPISID`
- `LOGIN_INFO` (if available)
...like here:
#### 3. Get `SESSION_TOKEN`
If you plan to use `setMonetisation()` or `upload()` or `setEndScreen()` functions, you need to have `SESSION_TOKEN`.
**IMPORTANT**: Keep in mind, that you need to regenerate this value **each day**.
Use your dev tools to get the value of `SESSION_TOKEN` (`/grst` API):
#### 4. Initialize your session:
```js
const { init, getVideo } = require('youtube-studio')
(async () => {
await init({
SID,
HSID,
SSID,
APISID,
SAPISID,
LOGIN_INFO, // specify, if available in your cookies
SESSION_TOKEN // this is optional, see point 3. above
}) // you can authenticate once!
const video = await getVideo('your video id')
console.log(video)
}())
```
