Be notified when one of your favorite youtubers posts a video!

Discord Youtube Notifier

This bot is not available for invite.

Discord Youtube Notifier bot allows you to receive your Youtube notifications directly on Discord!

Features

🚩 Use of the simple RSS technology
▶️ Unlimited YouTubers support (you can add as many as you want)
🌐 Automatic resolving Youtube channels URLs
📝 Custom messages for announcements messages

How it works?

Here is a simplified explanation of how the bot works:

• Every 20 seconds, a function queries Youtube (using RSS) to get the latest video from the Youtuber.

• If a video is found, it is checked twice:

  • Was the video published after the bot started?
  • Hasn't the video already been posted on Discord?

• Then, the video is sent on discord

Edit config

You must edit the configuration file for the bot to work correctly:

{
    "token": "your-discord-bot-token-here",
    "message": "New video **{videoTitle}** by **{videoAuthorName}** uploaded at **{videoPubDate}**! Link: {videoURL}",
    "channel": "your-channel-id-for-announcements-here",
    "youtubers": [
        "Pewdiepie",
        "Squeezie",
        "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNuYih-JMtLxOlsjeIos4ZA"
    ],
    "youtubeKey": "your http://console.developer.google.com youtube v3 api key"
}

token: your discord bot token
message: the message that will be sent in the announcement channel when a new video is uploaded
channel: the id of the announcement channel
youtubers: an array of your subscriptions, this can be a youtuber name or a youtuber channel url
youtubeKey: your youtube api v3 api key. It can be found here

discordyoutubenotifier's Issues

Works fine... but it takes 10 mins for the video to get recognized

Bcs of the interval it does the check() every 20 seconds, but just RSS doesnt let it ACTUALLY refresh that fast. Anyone know a solution or an alternative to RSS?

the bot does not have a way of using a special message for lives

Docker support

is there any way to run this in docker or any thing close with commands

Problem Spotted

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'get')

Hello, once a new video is found, I get following error message:

DiscordYoutubeNotifier/index.js:117
        let channel = client.channels.cache.get(config.channel);
                                            ^

Node.js v17.1.0

What do I put in the code to actually use this?

So what do I put in my bot files to actually use this? I understand the config stuff but what goes into the main file to use the config items?

Matrix Support?

It would be cool to have Matrix Support for those, like me, who don't like Discord.

I'll certainly try this out on my Discord Server, Thanks!
