This is my version of ts-npm-ytmusic-api with bugs fixed. The original work can be found here.
YouTube Music API (Unofficial) is a YouTube Music data scraper. It comes with TypeScript support API for return types. The NPM package can be found here
I used to use youtube-music-api as my youtube music api data scraper. I liked looking into the source code of how it works but it never made sense to me. I also didn't like that there were no TypeScript annotations for the return types of methods. Because of this, I decided to build my own version of a youtube music api with TypeScript annotations, testing and written in a way I can understand.
- TypeScript Support for data return types
- Data from YouTube can be inconsistent but YTMusic API has been tested and the data matches the TypeScript types 95% of the time
- Scrape information directly from YouTube Music API
- Search Suggestions
- Songs
- Videos
- Artists
- Albums
- Playlists
- Lyrics
import YTMusic from "ytmusic-api"
const ytmusic = new YTMusic()
await ytmusic.initialize(/* Optional: Custom cookies */)
ytmusic.search("Never gonna give you up").then(songs => {
console.log(songs)
})
A lot of the credit should go to youtube-music-api. I build this package as a refactored and tested version of youtube-music-api with TypeScript annotations
YTMusic API's data return types are tested with Bun Test. To run the tests, run the command
$ bun test
