ToxTunes

ToxTunes was rapidly engineered in response to the temporary shutdown of the popular Rythm bot caused by YouTube's aggressive API bans.

Written entirely in Java while I was still in high school, the architecture bypassed standard API restrictions by running a headless instance of YouTube directly to scrape and stream high-quality audio into voice channels.

It was deployed as a fully hosted, independent application to ensure low-latency playback when the largest bots in the space went offline. Having served its purpose during the ban wave, the project is now officially retired.
