vc_aggregator's Issues

Setup Development Environment & Familiarization

🚀 Welcome to VC Aggregator! 🚀

To get started, you should set up your development environment and familiarize yourself with the core tools and libraries used, including the YouTube API, OpenAI API, and MoviePy.

🛠 Objective

Your goal is to set up your local environment, run a basic script that integrates the APIs mentioned, and generate a short clip using MoviePy. This won't be a full-fledged YouTube Short but will give you a taste of the tools at play.

Steps to Completion

1. Environment Setup

• Clone the repo.
• Navigate into the directory.
• Install the required dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.

2. API Key Configuration

• Register for the YouTube API and retrieve your API key.
• Register for the OpenAI API and get your API key.
• Store these keys securely. I recommend using environment variables or a local configuration file (ignored by Git).

3. Run the Sample Script

• I've included a test_aggregate.py in the test_script directory. This script fetches a random YouTube video title, generates a basic caption using OpenAI, and creates a simple text video using MoviePy.
• Run the script: test_aggregate.py.
• If everything's set correctly, you should see an output video file in the test_script directory.

4. Document & Share

• If you encounter any setup issues, or if there are steps you believe could be clearer, note them down.
• Share your feedback using repository issues. This can help us improve the onboarding process for future contributors.

💡 Tips

Familiarize yourself with the basic documentation of YouTube API, OpenAI, and MoviePy. This will come in handy for future tasks. Ensure you're adhering to any rate limits set by the APIs.

🔒 Safety First

Never push your API keys or any sensitive data to the repo. Always use environment variables or a configuration file that's git-ignored to handle such details.

Once you've completed this task, reach out to me on my Github or LinkedIn. I am here to help and am excited to see your progress! Welcome again, and happy coding! 🚀👩‍💻👨‍💻
