Youtube-Cache

A simple Node wrapper of youtube-cache api used to fetch/store videos you fetch from youtube to save quota reuests.

Requiremnts

• Node 11.x+
• Valid api key

Examples

First let's download youtube-cache package

NPM

npm i youtube-cache

Yarn

yarn add youtube cache

Create your api client with

const YoutubeCacheClient = require("youtube-cache");

const cache = new YoutubeCacheClient("Your-Token-Here");

Fetch youtube video directly by id.

// Using await
try {
  const result = await cache.findVideoById("dQw4w9WgXcQ");
  const track = result.track;
  console.log(track); // Wow we have our fetched video!
} catch(err) {
    // big bad wold
}

// Using chain

cache.findVideoById("dQw4w9WgXcQ").then((result) => {
 const track = result.track;
 console.log(track); // Cool track
}).catch((err) => {
    // Something bad happend.
});

Query api by name

// Using await

try {
    const result = await cache.queryVideos("Never gonna give you up");
    const tracks = result.tracks; // Array of Tracks!
    console.log(tracks);
} catch(err) {
  // error
}

// Using chain

cache.queryVideos("Never gonna give you up").then((result) => {
    const tracks = result.tracks;
    console.log(tracks); // array!
}).catch((err) => {
    // error
});

You might say this is really good, but how do I store my videos I fetched from youtube on your api?

Pretty simple

// Using await

try {

  const result = await cache.createVideo({
      identifier: "QpR8_Onc9ho",
      title: "Awaken",
      author: "Valerie Broussard",
      artwork: "https://img.youtube.com/vi/QpR8_Onc9ho/0.jpg",
      duration: 200
  });

  // response object from api;
  console.log(result);

} catch(err) {
    // error
}

// using chain

cache.createVideo({
    identifier: "QpR8_Onc9ho",
    title: "Awaken",
    author: "Valerie Broussard",
    artwork: "https://img.youtube.com/vi/QpR8_Onc9ho/0.jpg",
    duration: 200
}).then((result) => {
  // Response object from api.
  console.log(result);
}).catch((err) => {
    // error
});

Road map

Task	Implemeted	Implemented in api
Fetch Video By ID	✅	✅
Query Video	✅	✅
Store video	✅	✅
Playlist support	❌	❌
Youtube Api	❌	❌

In future there will be way to query for playilsts and automaticly use youtube api from this package. Also ability to store multiples video from such playlist.
