Beauty Content Pipeline is an automation pipeline designed to find, download, organize, and prepare beauty-related video content from YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and TikTok for repurposing and publishing. The system searches for videos by keywords or hashtags, prioritizes downloading in MP4 format ready for upload, and organizes files into folders separated by platform and by hashtag or query to facilitate scheduling and bulk publishing.
The solution includes a state file that remembers what has already been downloaded, downloads with automatic MP4 converter, and options to archive the entire set in a ZIP file for backup. It also allows uploading those compressed files to Google Drive within a Shared Drive using a service account and supports uploading the most recent MP4 to YouTube via OAuth for Installed App type accounts. To publish on Instagram Reels, you can host the MP4 on Drive with a public URL and then use the Instagram Graph API to publish using a valid token.
Regarding integrations and libraries, the flow makes use of proven tools such as yt_dlp for YouTube Shorts, instaloader for scraping Instagram hashtags with login, and optionally TikTokApi if a functional session is configured. Google APIs with service account credentials and OAuth are used for interaction with Google Drive and YouTube. Additionally, a token assistant for Instagram Graph API is included that guides through the Facebook OAuth process, the exchange of code for a short-lived token, the update to a long-lived token, and the search for the Instagram business account ID associated with a Facebook Page.
Design and key features - search and download videos from YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and TikTok; automatic conversion and storage in MP4; organization by platform and hashtag; optional ZIP archiving for backups; upload to Google Drive Shared Drive; video upload to YouTube and publishing on Instagram Reels via Graph API. The TikTok component is designed to be gracefully skipped in environments where the API or session is not available, avoiding failures in the main pipeline.
Security and best practices - credentials and secrets must be stored securely, preferably outside the code repository. For Google Drive and YouTube, it is recommended to use a service account and OAuth with credential files managed in protected environments. For Instagram, it is recommended to generate long-lived tokens and verify that the account is a Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page.
Benefits for marketing teams and creators - time savings by automating content collection and preparation, ensuring files are already in the correct format for publishing, and the ability to centralize cloud backups. Folder organization and state tracking help avoid duplicate downloads and speed up scheduling of posts across multiple platforms.
