Notes

• Compiler support

  This library always expects to be used with the latest version of rust. It may run on older rust versions, but not guarantee is made, that it won't break between versions.

• Subscriber count

  All functions that return subscriber counts only return 3-digit precision values as that is all that YouTube returns. That means if channel has exactly 164_583 subscribers, this library will return 164_000.

• Panic behavior

  This library should never panic. If it does, it should be reported as a bug. Panics mostly mean, that YouTube changed something that this library could not deal with.
