Youtube Uploader

youtube-uploader is a Youtube video uploader library written in Node.js.

This library wraps Google's sample code written in Python: upload_video.py. OAuth2 configuration files (client_secrets.json and upload_video.py-oauth2.json) are required by the python script and they can be conveniently generated by calling configure() before upload().
