npm install ytb-js
I found the googleapis package a little bit hard to use so this package does exactly the same thing as googleapis but its just much easier to use
// javascript
const { Youtube } = require('ytb-js');
// typescript
import { Youtube } from 'ytb-js';
const youtube = new Youtube("YOUR_API_KEY");
// This will return a big JSON object with some data about the request and data about the first 10 videos that the api found
ytb.search({ q: "Cat Videos", maxResults: 10 }).then((result) => {
console.log(result);
});
// This will return the same JSON object as the search method, but this time it will include data about the specified youtube channel
yt.searchChannels({ part: ["snippet"], forUsername: "jacksepticeye" }).then((result) => {
console.log(result);
});
// This will return the same JSON object as before, but it will include data about the comments of the specified video
yt.getVideoComments({ part: ["snippet"], videoId: "aV8bxGs3Wy4" }).then((result) => {
console.log(result);
});
