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?

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.

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
