youtube-search-promise

Easily search for videos on Youtube using their v3 API.

Credit

Majority of this was actually written by Max Gfeller and his repo can be found here 👀 I simply refactored it slightly to return a Promise 😄🎉 I have not recreated his TypeScript implementation yet but look for that soon 📆

Options

You can pass a lot of optional parameters as the second parameter, they are documented here.

Rate limiting

Google enforces a rate limit on the Youtube Data API. You will probably need to register your application for a key and supply this key in the opts.

JavaScript Usage

var search = require("youtube-search-promise");
 
var opts = {
  maxResults: 10,
  key: "yourkey"
};
 
search("deadmau5", opts)
  .then(results => {
    console.log(results);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
