Developer of Chrome Extension / JS script for automating YouTube Studio (WITHOUT API)
I need a tool (browser extension or persistent JS script) that automates the publication of YouTube Shorts from the "Drafts" section.
Important: Using the YouTube API or any third-party services for accessing Google accounts is not suitable. The work must be done exclusively through the browser interface (emulating user actions) to avoid blocks and unnecessary permissions.
How the workflow should look:
I open the tab with "Drafts" in YouTube Studio in a specific browser profile.
I click "Start" in the extension.
The script sequentially opens each video and schedules its publication according to one of two schemes (of your choice):
Scheme A: 1 video per day for the next 20 days at a specified time.
Scheme B: 2 videos per day (morning/evening) for the next 10 days.
After scheduling one video, the script automatically moves on to the next.
Key technical requirements:
Window isolation: The script must work only in the tab/window where I launched it. I may have 10+ profiles open simultaneously — they must not conflict.
Bypassing YouTube protection: YouTube blocks direct input of date and time through
value. Quality emulation of key presses or working with internal events of React/YouTube Studio is needed.Stable selectors: Use logic that does not "break" at the first change of class name in YouTube's code.
Randomization: Delays between clicks must be random (from 4 to 10 seconds) to simulate a real person.
⚠️ Pitfalls to consider:
Working with complex modal windows (the script must wait for the full loading of elements).
Automatically closing pop-ups or notifications from YouTube that may overlap buttons.
Correctly switching months in the calendar if the 20-day period crosses into the next month.
Technical stack:
JavaScript / Chrome Extension API (Manifest V3).
Playwright/Puppeteer (only if you can implement this through a connection to an already opened browser profile via CDP).

I will create a Chrome Extension (Manifest V3) for scheduling YouTube Shorts from drafts. I have worked with the YouTube Studio DOM, and I know the pitfalls with React events and dynamic selectors.
Approach: MutationObserver to wait for elements, dispatchEvent for dates instead of direct value, context isolated through tabId. Random delays of 4-10 seconds are already planned.
Question: how many profiles need to be supported simultaneously? This will affect the architecture of the background service worker. 3 days, 6500 UAH.

Hello, I reviewed your task. Creating an automation scheme in YouTube Studio that bypasses restrictions and works without an API seems quite complicated. It is necessary to implement user action emulation effectively to avoid blocks. It is very important to think through all the details, especially regarding interaction with modal windows and delays between clicks. I have worked on similar projects, including browser automation, and I can handle these tasks. I propose a price starting from 8000 UAH, considering the complexity. The implementation will take about 2 days, but I have included an additional 2 days in the timeline for unforeseen difficulties.

503 3 0 I suggest using youtube/v3/videos (official API) for this. I checked that Draft shorts are displayed in the API as private videos. You can easily schedule publication without issues with the UI and even scale this solution if you wish.
Additionally, this API can be embedded in an extension and used in the browser (authorization through a Chrome account).

686 2 0 Hello! I specialize in automating browser processes and developing Chrome Extensions (Manifest V3). Your task is clear to me: it is necessary to create a reliable extension that will imitate human actions without using the official API.
I have experience bypassing the limitations of React/YouTube Studio, where regular text input does not work. Here is how I plan to implement your project:
Action emulation: I will use dispatchEvent to simulate key presses and mouse clicks so that YouTube perceives the script as a real user.
Reliable selectors: Instead of unstable CSS classes, I will use ARIA labels and data attributes that YouTube rarely changes.
Smart delays: I will implement randomization (4-10 seconds) and check for the loading of modal windows before each action.
Calendar work: The script will correctly switch months and select dates according to one of your schemes (A or B).
Isolation: Each tab will operate independently, even if you have 10+ profiles open at the same time.
… I am ready to develop a tool that will be 'quiet' and stable. I suggest we discuss the details of the control interface (the 'Start' button and scheme selection) and we can get started!

332 Good day! I am interested in your project. I can create a stable script that will automatically schedule the publication of Shorts from the Drafts section in YouTube Studio by emulating user actions in the browser (without using the API).
What will be implemented:
a Start button, after which the script begins processing drafts
automatic opening of each video and setting the scheduled date/time
two working schemes:
… • 1 video per day (20 days)
• 2 videos per day (morning/evening, 10 days)
random delays of 4–10 seconds between actions
operation only in the active tab to avoid conflicts with 10+ profiles
emulation of key presses for entering date/time (bypassing React limitations)
logic for waiting for elements to load, working with modal windows
automatic closing of pop-up messages
correct operation of the calendar when moving to the next month
use of stable selectors so that the script does not break due to class changes

265 I have extensive experience in developing browser tools, automating actions in the interface, and creating Chrome extensions (Manifest V3) without using official APIs. I have implemented solutions for emulating clicks, inputting through keyboard events, randomizing delays, and working with complex modal windows. I can create an extension/JS script that automatically goes through drafts in YouTube Studio, schedules publications according to specified patterns (1 video × 20 days or 2 videos × 10 days), works correctly with the calendar, pop-ups, and is isolated within a single profile. I am ready to take on the development of the tool, think through robust selectors and logic to minimize the risks of blocks.

134 Good day!
I have experience creating JavaScript scripts and Chrome extensions that automate actions in the interface without using APIs. I can create a tool that will publish Shorts from drafts, working only in an open tab of YouTube Studio.
I will implement:
Emulation of clicks and input with random delays.
Stable selectors independent of class names.
Logic for 1×20 or 2×10 publications.
… Handling pop-ups and checking for full loading of elements.
Isolation of the script between different browser profiles.
I am ready to quickly show a demo and adapt it to your workflow.

1052 11 0 Hello! I am ready to take on the development of a script for planning YouTube Shorts. The task is very clear - I have extensive experience in creating complex automations that require complete imitation of a live person's actions and bypassing input protections.
To ensure you get exactly the result you need, I can offer 3 implementation options to choose from:
Classic browser extension. Extremely convenient to use (button right in the browser), but the software input of dates may be less stable with updates to YouTube's protection.
External script with connection to an open profile. 100% guarantee of bypassing any input blocks (clicks occur at the system level), but requires a slightly more complex launch of profiles through shortcuts.
Extended hybrid (I recommend). The perfect balance - works like a convenient extension but uses deep emulation of the keyboard and mouse. YouTube sees this as a real person.
How I will address your other requirements:
Work strictly in an active profile without third-party APIs and services.
Complete isolation - you will be able to keep 10+ profiles open simultaneously without conflicts.
I will definitely incorporate randomization of pauses, an algorithm for closing sudden pop-ups, and logic for correctly flipping through months in the calendar.
… I will bind elements using stable attributes (no bindings to changing classes).
I would be happy to discuss the details and get started!
