Extension summary

This extension is for YouTube creators who have years of community posts to search through. It allows quick search and filtering of all past community posts.

I created it because I conduct a lot of polls and question posts on my YT community page, but if I want to get access to a poll or post older than a few months or years, there's no way to do that without sitting there scrolling and scrolling.

IMPORTANT: FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

Since YouTube doesn't provide post data through their API, we had to create a workaround that downloads the lastest zip file containing your post data. This is why the following instructions are vital to setting up your extension for use.

To install this extension, follow these steps (Or watch the demo video):

  1. Once downloaded, you will have no post data loaded. Click the "update" button to the right --> "Get Latest Data".

  2. This will request your YouTube Channel Id. This can be found in the web url after navigating to your youtube channel in the browser. It usually starts with 'UC' and should be right after "youtube.com/channel/".

2a. Identify the Channel ID:
