What you get

Everything handled for every Short

Direct YouTube API publishing

We use the official YouTube Data API v3 to publish your Shorts — no browser automation, no workarounds, fully compliant with YouTube's Terms of Service.

AI-generated titles & descriptions

Every Short gets a unique title (optimised for Shorts search) and a platform-appropriate description with relevant hashtags — generated by AI, tuned for CTR.

Smart tag generation

Tags are generated from the clip content, source video topic, and trending hashtag patterns — maximising discoverability in the Shorts feed.

Thumbnail upload included

Custom thumbnails are uploaded via the YouTube Thumbnails API immediately after the video is published — appearing in search, channel, and subscription feeds.

Prime-time scheduling

Set your preferred publishing times (e.g. 8am, 12pm, 5pm) and clips are automatically scheduled to go live at peak engagement windows for your audience.

Quota-safe publishing

We manage YouTube API quota carefully — batching uploads, rotating API keys, and monitoring daily limits so you never hit a wall mid-campaign.

How it works

The full YouTube publishing pipeline

01

OAuth connection & credential storage

You connect your YouTube channel once via Google OAuth. Your credentials are AES-256 encrypted and stored securely — the worker retrieves and refreshes them automatically for every upload.

02

Video upload with full metadata

Each clip is uploaded via the YouTube Data API with AI-generated title, description, tags, category (22 = People & Blogs), and privacyStatus (public). The #Shorts hashtag is injected into every title for feed eligibility.

03

Thumbnail upload & prime-time scheduling

Immediately after video upload, the custom thumbnail is set via thumbnails.set(). The publish time is scheduled to your configured prime-time slots — clips drip out at peak engagement times, not all at once.

Scheduled: 08:00, 12:00, 17:00
