.envfile in the root directory with your YouTube API key:

-
Generate enriched video data using the YouTube API:
node scripts/fetch_youtube_data.jsThis script:
- Reads video URLs from
_data/video_urls.yml - Fetches metadata from YouTube (titles, thumbnails, view counts, etc.)
- Generates
_data/youtube_videos.ymlwith enriched data
_data/video_urls.yml- Source file with YouTube video URLs_data/youtube_videos.yml- Generated file with enriched video data_layouts/minimal.html- Minimal layout templateindex.html- Main page with video gridscripts/fetch_youtube_data.js- YouTube data fetching script
