# How to get started

  1) First, install the script following any one of these   

      * [Windows without installing python](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#binary-release)    

      * [Windows from source code](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#installation)    

      * [Linux / Mac from source code](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#linux--mac)

   2) Then put your video links in the [urls.txt](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#urls) file

   3) To search for your video on YouTube and then play it, put the search keywords and video title in the [search.txt](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#search) file

   4) Get your [proxy](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#proxies) list

   5) Run the script and follow the instructions from there.



# Proxies

 *[IPRoyal](https://iproyal.com?r=18862) offers datacenter and residential proxies. The Royal Residential proxies have a large pool with addresses in over 195 countries all over the world, so they can generate a massive number of views. IPRoyal agreed to provide an additional discount of 5% which adds up to current bulk discounts! To get this incredible 5% discount, with bulk discounts for Royal Residential proxies, use the discount code: `youtubers5`*



* ## Free Proxy

   Try not to use free proxies. But if you have a paid subscription and you want to use authenticated IP feature, then you can use the free proxy category. Provide your text file path (where you saved the proxies) when the script asks for a proxy file name or a proxy API.

   N.B: Available for **http(s)/socks4/socks5**

   

* ## Premium Proxy

   Proxies with authentication can also be done. To do so put your proxies in this format `username:password@ipaddress:port`or `ipaddress:port:username:password` in a text file. Every single line will contain a single proxy. Provide your text file path when the script asks for a proxy file name or a proxy API.

   

   N.B: Only available for **http** type proxy.



* ## Rotating Proxy

   You can also use the rotating proxies service. You can either authenticate your IP on your proxy provider service and use `ipaddress:port` as Main Gateway. 

   N.B: Available for **http(s)/socks4/socks5**



   Or direct use username:password combo like this `username:password@ipaddress:port` or `ipaddress:port:username:password` as Main Gateway.



   N.B: Only available for **http** type proxy.

   You can use proxy API too.



# HTTP API

   Live logs fetched every 10 seconds and statistics in graphs are available on http://localhost:5000/ .Or [http://ip_of_your_pc:5000/](http://ip_of_your_pc:5000/) use this to access from another device under same network. A SQLite Database is being used  to store your generated views from this script. 

   Last 200 logs from scripts are fetched every 10 seconds to show on website and graph is updated every 5 minutes.



# Config.json

   No need to type everything everytime you run the script. A config file will be created automatically to save and use your preferences.

   You can modify it on the fly without restarting the program.

   

# Urls

  Put video links in the urls.txt. For multiple videos place urls in multple lines.

  1) To find video link in YouTube click share and copy.

  2) If you have any external link which will redirect to your youtube video you can use that too. Example : when you post a YouTube video link in **twitter** and you hit play on twitter, you will get a link like this `https://t.co/xxxxxxxxxx?amp=1`. This is helpful because YouTube will see that views are coming from External Source like twitter in this example.



# Search

  Program can search youtube with the keyword you want and find the video with video title or video id. To do this you need to know what keyword can find your video on youtube search engine. Also you need to provide **exact** video title or video id. Put keyword and title like this format `keyword :::: video title` or `keyword :::: video id` in **search.txt**. Always use multiple `keyword` for the same `video title` or `video id`.



  *If you don't know any keyword just put your `video title :::: video title` or `video title :::: video id` in search.txt*



   

# Live Stream

   This script supports live streams too. Just use this script as you would for the already uploaded video. Script will automatically know if your video is live. Just bear in mind, you need a **high-end pc** for higher threads to get more viewers.

   Basically, script will check every 60 secs if youtube shows `x watching now` is present. If your live stream ends, script will check 5 times to be sure. In another word, after your live stream ends, script takes 5 minutes to close the driver.

   

   If you have never used this script before, use this first for an already uploaded video. This way, you will have a better understanding of how this script works. To do so, keep reading.



# YouTube Music

   Can generate views on YouTube Music too. In **urls.txt** put your music link like this `https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx`. Script will automatically load YouTube Music when it sees link have `music.youtube.com`. **Search feature is not available for this.** So you need to empty the search.txt otherwise it will start searching videos in default YouTube.

# Windows

* ## Binary Release



  For windows you can download binary releases from **[Binary releases](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer/releases)**. Download this file named `YouTube-Viewer_win_x.x.x.zip`, unzip it and run the `youtube_viewer.exe`. Or you can install it from source. To do so keep reading. 

  

* ## Installation



  First, make sure you have installed git and Python version between 3.7.x to 3.11.x

  

  Open command prompt and type

  ```

  git clone https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer.git --depth 10

  ```

  ```

  cd YouTube-Viewer

  ```

  ```

  python -m pip install --upgrade pip wheel

  ```

  ```

  pip install "setuptools<59"

  ```

  ```

  pip install -r requirements.txt

  ```



* ## Important

   * If you've got a large free proxies collection, you should run this command to filter Good proxies. Then use **GoodProxy.txt** for proxy in **youtube_viewer.py**

      ```

      python proxy_check.py

      ```



   * After closing program, if chromedrivers are still running. You may want to double click **killdrive.bat** to close all chrome instances.



   * *urls.txt* or *search.txt* can't be empty. Otherwise you will see errors. Use both for better results.



* ## Usage

   * Open command prompt in YouTube-Viewer folder and run

        ```

        python youtube_viewer.py

        ```

   * Rest is self explanatory.



# Linux / Mac

        ```

        python3 youtube_viewer.py

        ```

   * Rest is self explanatory.

 

 # Best Practices

  To get the most out of this script you should maintain these things.

  * Don't use HEADLESS mode. Because no IP leak prevention, fingerprint defending, etc. can be done in headless mode.

  * Youtube doesn't count views from the same IP after a certain time. Like, don't expect to get 100 views from 10 proxies. If you want more views, try to use a lot of premium proxies(free proxies are flagged by most websites). DO NOT use TOR proxies.

  * In a nutshell, you need Rotating proxies to get the best result. But the IP MUST NOT change on each request. Set the sticky session or TTL to 5 to 15 minutes.

  * For IPRoyal it would be *Royal Residential Proxies*, not Static Residential proxies

  * Use both [urls.txt](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#urls) and [search.txt](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#search)

  * And use as many [urls](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#urls) and [keyword::::title](https://github.com/MShawon/YouTube-Viewer#search) as you can. Don't use just one video.
