YouTube + Foldr Integration
YouTube is the world's largest video platform. Host supplementary downloads (project files, assets, PDFs) on Foldr and link from video descriptions — avoids YouTube's lack of file-attachment support.
How to Connect YouTube to Foldr
Generate a Foldr API key
Sign in at foldr.space and create an API key at foldr.space/developers.
Authenticate with YouTube
Generate or locate your YouTube API credentials per YouTube's documentation.
Wire the two APIs together
Write a small script or serverless function that calls YouTube, processes the result, and POSTs to https://foldr.space/api/v1/files (or /links for short links).
Deploy + schedule
Run the script on-demand, via a cron job, or trigger it from a webhook — the Foldr REST API has no client-library lock-in.
Common Use Cases
- Host supplementary downloads (decks, source files) alongside your YouTube content
- Offload large raw masters to Foldr while streaming cuts on YouTube
- Link YouTube viewers to Foldr lead magnets
- Use Foldr as a staging layer for assets later ingested into YouTube
YouTube + Foldr FAQ
How do I connect Foldr to YouTube?
You connect Foldr to YouTube via REST API. Full steps are listed above under "How to Connect". In short: create a Foldr API key, configure the REST API integration pointed at https://foldr.space/api/v1/, and map YouTube's data into Foldr's request body.
Do I need a paid Foldr plan to use YouTube with Foldr?
The Foldr free tier supports basic uploads via the API with 7-day expiry. For integration use with YouTube — higher rate limits, permanent storage, multiple API keys, and webhook subscriptions — Foldr Pro (from $5/mo) is recommended.
What Foldr features can I call from YouTube?
From YouTube you can invoke any Foldr action: uploading files (up to 2 GB each), creating short links, generating bio pages, creating hosted forms, and reading download analytics. See the Foldr API docs for the full endpoint list.
Is there an official Foldr app for YouTube?
Not a first-party app — Foldr integrates with YouTube through REST API, which is usually a better fit because it doesn't require installing an extra app. If you'd rather have a native integration, let us know at foldr.space/contact.
