youtubei-rs

A asynchronous implementation of the invidious innertube aka youtubei API wrapper.
Using tokio,reqwest, serde and serde_json.

Dependencies

• serde_json
• serde: features = ["derive"]
• reqwest: features = ["json","gzip"]
• tokio: features = ["full"]

Roadmap

• query: load more videos from a playlist
• propper error handling
• implementing proxy support
• removing panics
• possibly optimize the extractor
• adding more endpoints

Implemented endpoints

• next
• browse
• search
• resolve_url
• player

Supported queries

• get_video: Fetches all information about the video except captions and storyboards
• getchannelinfo: Fetches all channel informantion and about tab
• getchanneltab: Fetches a specific tab like videos to get channel videos
• search: Search youtube
• load_search: Continue search with ctoken
• get_comments: Loads initial comments or more comments for video
• loadrelatedvideos: Loads more related videos
• get_playlist: Loads a playlist

For more in depth infos take a look at query.rs and tests.rs

General information

The most structs have common fields such as thumbnail and others.

• thumbnail represent the url of the thumbnail
• views/viewcount/viewcount are all taken from the innertube data and they are in readable format eg 103K views might be the value of this field where views is always there

Example

```rust use youtubeirs::{query::getvideo, utils::defaultclientconfig};

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { // create default clientconfig with WEB client let clientconfig = &defaultclientconfig(); // get video with id gC6dQrScmHE let videoquery = getvideo(String::from("gC6dQrScmHE"),String::from(""),&clientconfig).await.unwrap(); println!("{}",videoquery.video.title); // video title }

```

With logging

For logging tracing is used so tracingsubscribe can be installed for easier use of tracing. The library has as target youtubeirs with debug,trace and error levels. ```rust use youtubeirs::{query::getvideo, utils::defaultclientconfig};

[tokio::main]

async fn main() { std::env::setvar("RUSTLOG", "youtubeirs=debug"); tracingsubscriber::fmt::init(); // create default clientconfig with WEB client let clientconfig = &defaultclientconfig(); // get video with id gC6dQrScmHE let videoquery = getvideo(String::from("gC6dQrScmHE"),String::from(""),&clientconfig).await.unwrap(); println!("{}",videoquery.video.title); // video title }

```
