YTSearcher

A nodejs package that provides an easy-to-use promise-based system of getting youtube search results.

Installing via NPM.

$ npm install ytsearcher

Quick Start Guide

Creating the object:

const { YTSearcher } = require('ytsearcher');
const searcher = new YTSearcher(apikey);

For details on how to obtain an API key and create a project visit this link

By default the api key will be irretrievable. To enable access to searcher.key create the object like so:

const searcher2 = new YTSearcher( {
  key: apiKey,
  revealkey: true,
} );

To Perform Searches

// result will be a YTSearch object.
let resultA = await searcher.search('A Search Query');

// You can customize your search with like so:
let resultB = await searcher.search('Another Query', searchOptions)

A list of options is available here

// For example, to grab only video results from a search query:
let resultC = await searcher.search('A Third Query', { type: 'video' });


// This will log the first search result.
console.log(result.first);

// This will log the url of the first search result.
console.log(result.first.url);

// A YTSearch has a built in page flipper, which will update the properties of YTSearch, including `first`. These will return null when the last and first page have been hit (respectively).
await result.nextPage();
await result.prevPage();

The Search Query can be anything, including a youtube link itself.
