Hey guys.

So, I've created a fair few YouTube bots over the last couple of years. I went through all the stages of web browser bots, web requests, custom API's, then eventually the official API's. But then all of a sudden youtube went hard on anyone trying to exploit their API's and even made updates on the sites making it impossible to use WebRequests.

So I'm just curious to as if somebody has found a way to bypass youtube security to allow youtube botting since I last researched on the matter?

It's not much different, however you need to be very smart with passing all of the checks. The most recent thing I can think of is by Vazity, who has a multipurpose bot out that supports plugins.

Use Selenium in conjunction with PhantomJS or learn how to emulate all the JS required to make YT think you are a real user and not an automation.
