youtubei.js - npm Package Versions

8.0.0 (2023-12-01)

⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

• Library: Add support for the new layout and remove profile & stats info
• Channel: YouTube removed the "Channels" tab on channels, so this pull request removes the getChannels() method and has_channels getter from the YT.Channel class, as they are no longer useful. The featured channels are now shown on the channel home tab. To get them you can use the channels getter on the home tab of the channel. Please note that some channel owners might not have added that section to their home page yet, so you won't be able to get the featured channels for those channels. The home tab is the default tab that is returned when you call InnerTube#getChannel(), you can also access that tab by calling getHome() on a YT.Channel object.
