Uplink YouTube Livestream

Manage YouTube livestreams for the Uplink channel (hello@uplink.tech) via the YouTube Data API v3.

Credentials

Read from OpenClaw config (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json):

CLIENT_ID=$(jq -r '.skills.entries["uplink-youtube-livestream"].clientId' ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json)
CLIENT_SECRET=$(jq -r '.skills.entries["uplink-youtube-livestream"].clientSecret' ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json)
REFRESH_TOKEN=$(jq -r '.skills.entries["uplink-youtube-livestream"].refreshToken' ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json)

Scripts

All scripts are in the scripts/ directory relative to this SKILL.md. Pass credentials as the first three arguments.

Schedule a livestream

./scripts/schedule.sh "$CLIENT_ID" "$CLIENT_SECRET" "$REFRESH_TOKEN" \
  "Title" "Description" "2026-02-15T19:00:00Z" "unlisted"

• Privacy: public, unlisted (default), or private
• Start time: ISO 8601 format (UTC recommended)
• Returns JSON with broadcast ID and stream details

List livestreams

./scripts/list.sh "$CLIENT_ID" "$CLIENT_SECRET" "$REFRESH_TOKEN"
./scripts/list.sh "$CLIENT_ID" "$CLIENT_SECRET" "$REFRESH_TOKEN" "all"

• Status filter: upcoming (default), active, completed, all

Update a livestream

./scripts/update.sh "$CLIENT_ID" "$CLIENT_SECRET" "$REFRESH_TOKEN" \
  "BROADCAST_ID" "New Title" "New description" "2026-02-16T20:00:00Z" "public"

• Pass empty string "" for fields you don't want to change

Delete a livestream

./scripts/delete.sh "$CLIENT_ID" "$CLIENT_SECRET" "$REFRESH_TOKEN" "BROADCAST_ID"

Parsing output

All scripts return JSON. Use jq:

# Broadcast IDs and titles
... | jq -r '.items[] | "\(.id) - \(.snippet.title)"'

# Scheduled start times
... | jq -r '.items[] | "\(.snippet.title): \(.snippet.scheduledStartTime)"'

Notes

• Token refresh is handled automatically by each script
• Livestreams are created as broadcasts with a bound stream (auto-start/stop enabled)
• Requires curl and jq
