# Setup YouTube Uploader for GitHub Actions

Setup [YouTube Uploader](https://github.com/porjo/youtubeuploader) on GitHub Actions to use `youtubeuploader`.

This action installs [porjo/youtubeuploader](https://github.com/porjo/youtubeuploader) for use in actions by installing it on tool cache using [AnimMouse/tool-cache](https://github.com/AnimMouse/tool-cache).

This action is implemented as a [composite](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-action) action.

## Usage

To use `youtubeuploader`, run this action before `youtubeuploader`.

1. Encode the client_secrets.json file in Base64 using this command `base64 -w 0 client_secrets.json` and paste it to `YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRETS` secret.

2. Encode the request.token file in Base64 using this command `base64 -w 0 request.token` and paste it to `YOUTUBE_REQUEST_TOKEN` secret.

```yaml

steps:

  - name: Setup YouTube Uploader

    uses: AnimMouse/setup-youtubeuploader@v2

    with:

      client_secrets: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRETS }}

      request_token: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_REQUEST_TOKEN }}

      

  - run: youtubeuploader -filename video.mkv

```

### Process substitution

You can also use process substitution for passing credentials. Only applies on Ubuntu and macOS.

```yaml

steps:

  - name: Setup YouTube Uploader

    uses: AnimMouse/setup-youtubeuploader@v2

    

  - run: youtubeuploader -secrets <(echo "$client_secrets" | base64 -d) -cache <(echo "$request_token" | base64 -d) -filename video.mkv

    env:

      client_secrets: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRETS }}

      request_token: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_REQUEST_TOKEN }}

```

### Specific version

You can specify the version you want. By default, this action downloads the latest version if the version is not specified.

```yaml

steps:

  - name: Setup YouTube Uploader

    uses: AnimMouse/setup-youtubeuploader@v2

    with:

      client_secrets: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRETS }}

      request_token: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_REQUEST_TOKEN }}

      version: v1.24.4

```

### GitHub token

This action automatically uses a GitHub token in order to authenticate with the GitHub API and avoid rate limiting. You can also specify your own read-only fine-grained personal access token.

```yaml

steps:

  - name: Setup YouTube Uploader

    uses: AnimMouse/setup-youtubeuploader@v2

    with:

      client_secrets: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRETS }}

      request_token: ${{ secrets.YOUTUBE_REQUEST_TOKEN }}

      token: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}

```
