How to populate a text file with youtube video title

["Gareth J. Rubery" <ga...@googlemail.com>]

Hi Andrew and Carlos

I just watched the ‘Apache Royal - starting from a blank file’ video and thought it was fanatic! 

I use a Mac Mini M1 (Silicone) and would like to be able to open a youtube video and have Apache Royale populate a text file with the title of the video. 

I’m not a developer and have no knowledge in this area. 

Specifically I'll be using this for music lessons when I need the artist name and track name to be shown in OBS. 

Is Apache Royal an application that can do this?
 
Best wishes, 

Gareth

Dear Andrew and Carlos 

I’m so appreciative of your reply as I’ve spent 3-4 weeks trying to crack this one! 

My proposed workflow is: 

I choose a YouTube Video (multiple different ones throughout each session) - the YouTube title is then automatically written into a text file - then OBS reads the text file - which I have set up to show on screen (to show people the title of the video I’m playing).

Text in Orange - I can do this already.
Text in Red - This is the problem.  

The screenshot attached shows what I’d like the end product to look like - I just need to get the backend working! (again thank you so much!)

I’ll have a good look at the ‘YouTube API’ - do you think it is the right answer to the problem?

Best wishes, 

Gareth

The YouTube API [1] gives you ways of gathering information about YouTube assets, which you can then sort through in your own app according to whatever criteria seem important to you. I presume that, if you know the exact name or ID of the video you want, you can use the API to call and deploy it in your app, or just deploy information about it, like its title.

Thank you for your kind words! We will be at ApacheCon 2021 in September
with more presentations.

I am trying to understand your proposed workflow. The YouTube API [1] gives
you ways of gathering information about YouTube assets, which you can then
sort through in your own app according to whatever criteria seem important
to you. I presume that, if you know the exact name or ID of the video you
want, you can use the API to call and deploy it in your app, or just deploy
information about it, like its title.

@Carlos Rovira <ca...@gmail.com>, do we have an example calling an
external API in Tour de Jewel?
