Scripts

Legacy Documentation

This page documents legacy script usage. Please use the CLI commands instead. See CLI Reference for the modern approach.

Scripts are Python modules in the scripts directory that can be run directly. However, all functionality is now available through the CLI.

Pre-Processing Metadata to Records

For each video a record is created containing all metadata.

Legacy approach (deprecated):

from pytube.handlers import Records
from pytube import conf

r = Records(qmap=conf.pretalx_questions_map)
r.load_all_confirmed_sessions()
r.load_all_speakers()
r.create_records()
r.add_descriptions(replace=False)

Modern CLI approach (recommended):

# Fetch all data from Pretalx and create records
pytube records fetch

# Or use the interactive assistant
pytube assistant

Create Video Descriptions

Video descriptions and metadata are prepared from records.

Legacy approach (deprecated):

from manager.handlers.youtube import PrepareVideoMetadata

meta = PrepareVideoMetadata("template.txt", "Conference Name")
meta.make_all_video_metadata()
meta.update_publish_dates(...)
meta.send_all_video_metadata(...)

Modern CLI approach (recommended):

# Map videos and update metadata
pytube youtube map
pytube youtube update

# Schedule publishing dates
pytube youtube schedule --start "2024-05-01T10:00:00" --interval 6h

More about scheduling videos can be found here.

Notify

Monitor published videos and send notifications.

Legacy approach (deprecated):

python -m manager.scripts.notify

Modern CLI approach (recommended):

# Check for published videos and send notifications
pytube notify check --auto-post

This command: 1. Checks for recently published videos on YouTube 2. Creates LinkedIn/social media posts for newly published videos 3. Sends email notifications to speakers 4. Updates status tracking
