I had a conversation with some sys-admins that are trying to limit what their kids can access on the internet. One was worried about how to implement a YouTube channel whitelist on his network.

So, an idea came to my mind. Wouldn’t it be relatively easy to implement this using Piped’s API?

Given that the kids’ devices are using self-signed certificates, allowing full traffic monitoring, it should be possible to filter YouTube videos using the data provided by Piped API.

Do you guys think it’s a good idea? I could start this project, if people think that it’s useful.
