What Crier does with YouTube

Crier publishes and schedules content on your own YouTube accounts, always with your permission through OAuth, and shows you their statistics. It does not automate interactions (likes, follows or bulk messages) and does not read data from other people's accounts. You can disconnect the account at any time.

How it works

From zero to YouTube in minutes

  1. 1

    Connect YouTube

    You or your clients connect the account with OAuth from a screen with your brand.

  2. 2

    Send a request

    POST /v1/posts with the content. We adapt it to the YouTube format.

  3. 3

    Receive the webhooks

    Posts, replies, messages and metrics arrive at your endpoint in the same format.

FAQ

Questions about YouTube

Does YouTube's quota affect me?

We use our own extended quota, so you do not have to request or manage it.

How do I publish a short?

Upload a vertical video under 3 minutes and we publish it as a short.

Can I schedule the premiere?

Yes. Set the date and the video is uploaded as private and published at that time.
