Used to have a raspberry pi + small hdmi screen on a shelf, and it would randomly play these raw uploads 24/7, new video every 2 minutes. It was fun to encounter random home movies all day. Very hard to maintain due to use of YouTube-dl, plus legacy search API that I was eventually kicked off of after unsuccessfully arguing for my continued use as an art project. My version searched for 4-5 different camera prefixes including IMG_. Would be fun to remake the backend with a headless browser framework + YouTube-dl.
No, to my memory they were phasing out the API except for case-by-case allowed usage. I think I opened a support ticket to justify continued access, with a description of my project, but they denied my use case. I can’t remember now if access was cut off, or if limits were dropped so low it was unusable, but the project became infeasible.
