| Automatic migration of subscriptions to another | |
| YouTube account with Python and Selenium. | |
| Tested with: | |
| - selenium 3.0 | |
| - firefox 49.0 | |
| - python 3.5 | |
| 1. Install selenium from pypi: | |
| $ pip install selenium | |
| 2. Go to the down of page https://www.youtube.com/subscription_manager | |
| and download your current subscriptions feed. | |
| Save file as subscription_manager.xml. | |
| 4. Run script, enter your credentials and go to drink coffee. | |
| It will take some time. | |
| Note YouTube will temporary block you if you have more that 80 subscriptions. | |
| Just restart the script in a few hours. | |
