Youtube Video Title Updating Script

Inspired by Tom Scott and his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxV14h0kFs0

This script builds upon the Youtube API https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/quickstart/nodejs to obtain authentication & update one's Youtube video title periodically.

Requirements to run

• Follow the Quickstart and obtain an OAuth 2.0 Client ID json file & save the file as "client_secret.json"
• Create a Firestore database in your project
• Create a service account with the role of "Cloud Datastore User", download the json and save the file as "serviceAccount.json"
• In the app.ts file, replace with the necessary values here:

const VIDEO_ID = 'YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEO ID';
const db = new Firestore({
    projectId: 'YOUR PROJECT ID ON GOOGLE CLOUD CONSOLE',
    keyFilename: 'PATH TO YOUR SERVICE_ACCOUNT.JSON FIILE'
});

Finally deploy the app to Appengine and deploy the "cron.yaml" file (responsible for periodic video updates) to the same app engine and you are good to go.
