Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/) 2. Create a new project 3. Enable "YouTube Data API v3" 4. Create credentials → API Key 5. Copy to `.env` ### Anthropic API 1.

The automation scripts use `python3`, but your packages might be installed in a different Python. **Fix:** Find your Python path and update the scripts: ```bash # Find where your Python is which python3 # Update run_newsletter.sh and dashboard.py with the full path # Example: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3 ``` ## Known Issues & Solutions This project documents several YouTube API quirks: | Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | Shorts not filtered by duration | Check `/shorts/` URL pattern | | Search API not chronological | Use uploads playlist instead | | Transcript API syntax changed | Use instance method `ytt_api.fetch()` | | Cloud servers blocked | Run locally, not GitHub Actions | | Names misspelled in transcripts | Include video description in Claude context | | Articles truncated mid-sentence | Increase `max_tokens` in write_articles.py | See [SKILL.md](SKILL.md) for detailed explanations. ## Project Structure ``` ├── main.py # Run the full pipeline ├── get_videos.py # Fetch videos from YouTube ├── get_transcripts.py # Extract video transcripts ├── write_articles.py # Transform to articles with Claude ├── send_email.py # Create EPUB & send email ├── dashboard.py # Streamlit web dashboard ├── video_tracker.py # Track processed videos ├── channels.txt # Your channel list ├── .env # Your API keys (not committed) └── newsletters/ # Archive of generated ebooks ``` ## License MIT - Use freely, modify as needed. --- Built with Claude AI
