YouTube Playlist Exporter

This is a python tool for exporting playlists from your YouTube account. It allows to import playlist data from CSV files and exports all playlists to a simple, browsable HTML web page as well as a JSON file.

YouTube data exported via Google Takeout does not contain much information on the videos within a playlist. Therefore, this tool uses the Invidious REST API to retrieve additional data on each video (e.g. title, duration and thumbnail) and saves this locally. This allows to keep an easy-to-use copy of your YouTube playlist even if you delete your YouTube account. Note that the videos are not downloaded.

Usage

1. Download your YouTube data using Google Takeout. This will yield a zip file containing CSV files, one for each playlist.
2. Supply all configuration values, especially the path to your CSV files, in config.cfg.
3. Execute the script:

python3 youtube-playlist-exporter config.cfg
