Package Exports

popyt
popyt/out/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (popyt) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Popyt

Want to access data from the YouTube Data v3 API? Want a Node.js YouTube API wrapper with typings, promises, and caching? No problem! We've got ya covered. npm i popyt

Examples

Try out the 5-minute tutorial or the example project.

Here are some basic methods (try it on CodeSandbox):

Instantiate the object:

const { YouTube } = require('popyt')
const youtube = new YouTube(apiKey)

Instantiate the object without caching:

const { YouTube } = require('popyt')
const youtube = new YouTube(apiKey, undefined, { cache: false })

Get a video by ID:

const video = await youtube.getVideo('dQw4w9WgXcQ')
console.log(video)

You can do the same thing with playlists, channels, and comments by replacing Video with any of them.

Get a video by URL:

const video = await youtube.getVideo('https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ')
console.log(video)

Get a video by title (or similar title):

const video = await youtube.getVideo('never gonna give you up')
console.log(video)

Search videos:

const search = await youtube.searchVideos('never gonna give you up')
console.log(search.items.map(v => v.title).join('\n')) // titles of 50 beautiful videos

Note: This wrapper does not implement every feature of the YouTube API. If you would like anything added, feel free to open an issue. The limits imposed by the wrapper are not imposed by YouTube.
