FAQ

How do I find my YouTube playlist's ID?

Go to any video on your playlist and the URL will look similar to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQs0u4i-wrU&list=PLdy_Z-y66LeLNgbrAq6fXnuO42Lolm_dD&index=241
Copy the list attribute in the URL.
In this example, the playlist ID would be PLdy_Z-y66LeLNgbrAq6fXnuO42Lolm_dD.
