Every link your server shares, spun into one playlist.
Trawl reads the music posted in a Discord channel and turns it into a single YouTube playlist — with one slash command.
How it works
From a channel full of links to a finished playlist in three steps.
Add the bot
Invite Trawl to your server. It only needs Send Messages and Read Message History.
Point it at a channel
Run /makeplaylists with your music channel. It scans every media message and collects the links.
Get your playlist
Links are pushed straight into your YouTube playlist — or saved as a clean JSON file you can keep.
Commands
Copy, paste, run.

$ node add_to_youtube_playlist.js # adds the saved links to your playlist
One-time setup
What you'll need before the first run.
Invite the bot
Use the invite button — it requests Send Messages and Read Message History, and enables the slash command.
Connect the API
Authorize the YouTube Data API v3 once and set your YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_ID so the bot knows where to add tracks.
Run /makeplaylists
Re-run any time to catch new links — your playlist stays current with whatever the server shares.
Give your server a playlist that builds itself.
Add Trawl in under a minute and turn months of shared links into one playlist everyone can hit play on.
