Auto Youtube - WordPress Youtube Video Scraper

Keeping a video section current takes steady effort when every post is built by hand. Auto Youtube – WordPress Youtube Video Scraper handles that job through import campaigns. You choose a source, such as a YouTube channel, a playlist or a search keyword, and the plugin fetches matching videos through the YouTube API v3 and turns them into posts on your site.

Campaigns run on a schedule using WP Cron, so you decide the timeline for publishing. Each post can include video details such as tags, categories, thumbnails, views, likes and duration, and you can import comments as well. Custom post templates with shortcodes like {{video_embed}}, {{video_title}} and {{video_description}} let you control the layout. It fits blogs, news sites and niche sites that want a steady flow of video content.

Features

• YouTube API v3 connection: The plugin retrieves video data through the YouTube API v3, which gives it access to the details it needs to build each post.
• Channels, playlists and keywords: Import videos from a YouTube channel, a playlist or a keyword search, so you can match the content to the topic of your site.
• Scheduled publishing: Campaigns use WP Cron to import and publish new video posts on the timeline you choose, with no manual step for each post.
