IYoutube

The ultimate dirty API Client for the internal YouTube API (Innertube API) with a big and growing coverage of actions and endpoints

Features

• Video information and statistics fetching
• Playlist information and videos
• Search functions (with type filters)
• Like & subscriptions API coverage (videos, channels, playlists)
• Comment API coverage (partial, only for videos)
• Simple User Authentication using OAuth2 (allows Private Videos) *1
• Built on one of the latest versions
• Typescript types (for most things)
• Support for a wide variety of plattforms, due to optional adapter support for HTTP fetching and storage access
