  • Follow http://help.dimsemenov.com/kb/wordpress-royalslider-tutorials/wp-how-to-get-youtube-api-key for how to get an API key to place after key= in the URL on line 3.
  • Place in the BitBar plugin directory (you need to configure this the first time).
  • In the Terminal and standing in the directory run chmod +x youtube-subscriber.30m.sh
  • Choose Preferences > Refresh all to trigger the first time so you don't have to wait 30 minutes (or whatever you choose, see below).

The .30m. in the filename tells BitBar to refresh the data every 30 minutes (and can be changed to another number).
