Star source

A private desktop utility that helps its operator manage selected YouTube channel tasks through Google's official YouTube Data API.

What the tool does

Star source currently runs locally for the channel owner's workflow. It is not a public sign-up service.

Important upload behavior

The current upload code marks videos as AI-generated/synthetic and sets the made-for-kids declaration to “No.” The command-line upload currently defaults to public visibility if no visibility is supplied. The operator should review the video and its metadata, set the intended visibility, and confirm the audience declaration before each upload. The current code does not enforce that review as a technical confirmation step.

AI-assisted comment replies

If the optional comment watcher is enabled, it sends non-spam YouTube comment text to the configured AI API to generate a reply. The software does not add the commenter’s name or channel ID to the prompt. The operator has selected DeepSeek as the provider, and the configured endpoint points at the official DeepSeek API host (api.deepseek.com) with no intermediary service in between. Processed comment records and log entries are automatically deleted locally after 30 days; details and DeepSeek’s own data handling are described in the Privacy Policy.
