This project was mostly developed for fun hasn't been maintained for quite some time. Consider using google_youtube3 which is maintained, now also async and supports much more endpoints than yt-api.

yt-api

about

With yt-api you can interact asynchronously with the youtube-api. Currently it implements the following endpoints: * search * playlists

example

A basic search request with yt-api:

``` rust /// prints the first answer of a search query fn main() -> Result<(), Error> { futures::executor::blockon(async { // take api key from enviroment variable let key = ApiKey::new(&env::var("YTAPIKEY").expect("YTAPI_KEY env-var not found"));

    // create the SearchList struct for the query "rust lang"
    let result = SearchList::new(key)
        .q("rust lang")
        .item_type(ItemType::Video)
        .await?;

    // outputs the title of the first search result
    println!(
        "Title: \"{}\"",
        result.items[0].snippet.title.as_ref().unwrap()
    );
    // outputs the video id of the first search result
    println!(
        "https://youtube.com/watch?v={}",
        result.items[0].id.video_id.as_ref().unwrap()
    );

    Ok(())
})

} ```
