Convert YouTube videos to blog posts with Claude AI and Bright Data

Automate the entire process of discovering YouTube videos, transforming them into professional blog content, and publishing to Blogger—all while tracking everything in Google Sheets.

Perfect for content marketers, bloggers, and businesses who want to scale their content production without manual effort.

What this workflow does

This automation handles four key tasks:

1. Scrapes YouTube videos - Uses Bright Data to search YouTube by keyword and extract video titles, descriptions, and metadata
2. Generates blog content - Claude AI transforms video information into 600+ word SEO-optimized blog posts
3. Publishes automatically - Posts go live on your Blogger account without manual intervention
4. Tracks everything - Logs video titles and published URLs to Google Sheets for easy monitoring

How it works

The workflow begins when you submit a keyword through a form. Bright Data searches YouTube and extracts video data matching your keyword. The system checks scraping progress every minute until data is ready.

Once videos are retrieved, the workflow processes them in batches. For each video, it extracts the title, description, and channel details. Claude AI then writes a professional blog post using a conversational tone suitable for publication.

The generated content is cleaned to remove markdown formatting. Finally, the blog publishes to Blogger and the workflow saves the video title plus live blog URL to Google Sheets. A 1-minute pause between batches prevents rate limiting.
