How to install

The Claudebot repository comes with hubot-youtube-info already set as a script, and you can follow that example.

To add this script to your own version of hubot, edit package.json to contain the latest version of hubot-youtube-info, and the same for external-scripts.json. Then simply run npm update or npm install.

How to use

The script is often coupled with an irc adapter, and will listen to chat for any valid youtube links. Simply paste a link, and the bot will do the rest.

GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable should be set for script to function properly. To obtain API key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbWnRhHfTDA
