ℹ️ ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Biden and Trump are going head-to-head in a political battle between the Democrats and Republicans for the US presidency. Though the votes hang in the balance in states like Nevada, Pennsylvania and Arizona, it's pretty much evident that Biden will be the next president of the United States, accompanied by his Vice President: Kamala Harris.

I wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun with Python. I'm a big fan of Python Automation and also have made a few videos interacting with the Spotify and YouTube Data APIs. They've gone down pretty well and thanks for all the feedback.

In this video, I want to take Python Automation a step further. We'll go over using the YouTube Data API in Python to automatically update a YouTube thumbnail with the latest poll counts for the US 2020 Elections and then interact with the YouTube Data API to change the thumbnail. This is a fantastic YouTube Python Programming Tutorial. Strap your seatbelts, grab a coffee, it's time to have some lockdown fun with Python!

‍️ WHO AM I:
I'm Imdad, a startup founder and CTO in London, UK. I love making videos about life as a technical cofounder, teaching people to code through cool programming projects and productivity.
I even teach Python tutorials as it is a great programming language that's used by the likes of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Quora and pretty much every big tech company you can name.
