Edit pinned comment across 1000s of YT videos on your channel without 3rd party?

I am sure we have all ran into this problem. Let's say you have a YouTube channel where you post regularly. It has 100s or even 1000s of videos. How do you manage changing the pinned comment across all these videos every once in a while without using 3rd party products like TubeBuddy. Is there a bash script or a programmatic API that you are aware of which can handle this? What are you guys doing on your end?


Youtube has an API. My daughter used it at her work, but I don't remember her using it with comments. Anyway, this documentation page looks promising https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/comments


I have never run into this problem, but I would use the Firefox developer tools to capture the request that gets made when I change one comment, then replay that request for all other videos.
