BINGEBUZZ
One required secret

Connect YouTube.

BingeBuzz uses a YouTube Data API key from Google Cloud to refresh public channel/video metadata. OAuth is not required for the public read-only workflow used here.

1. Create or select a Google Cloud project

Open Google Cloud Console, create a project (or select an existing one), then open the API Library.

2. Enable YouTube Data API v3

Search the API Library for YouTube Data API v3 and click Enable.

3. Create an API key

Go to APIs & Services → Credentials → Create credentials → API key. This site only performs public read requests from GitHub Actions.

4. Add the GitHub secret

In the BingeBuzz repository go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret.

Name the secret exactly:YOUTUBE_API_KEY

Paste the Google API key as the secret value, save it, then manually run Update comedy heat feed and deploy once.

Quota design

The updater intentionally avoids broad YouTube search queries. It resolves configured channels, reads their upload playlists, and batches video-statistics requests. This is significantly more quota-efficient than repeatedly searching YouTube.
