YotooJS

npm NPM

Tiny library to fetch videos from YouTube.

Installation

You can install YotooJS via npm:

npm install yotoojs

Or you can use it on browser via Unpkg's CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/yotoojs@latest/dist/yotoo.js"></script>

Setup

First, import yotoo:

import { yotoo } from 'yotoojs'

Then set an API key.

yotoo.setApiKey('YOUR_API_KEY')

⚠️ Important: the previous method yotoo.apiKey() is deprecated. Use yotoo.setApiKey() instead.

You can get an API key from Google Developers Console.

Examples

Fetching a single video

yotoo.get(
  'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',

  response => {
    const video = response[0]

    console.log(`Video title: ${video.title}`)
  }
)

Fetching multiple videos

yotoo.get(
  [
    'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ',
    'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyWYpM_S-2c',
    'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taTTt7dH4Ig',
  ],

  response => {
    response.forEach(video => {
      console.log(`Video title: ${video.title}`)
    })
  }
)

The response returned is an array of video objects.

Below you can see a sample JSON response:

[
  {
    "id": "dQw4w9WgXcQ",

    "title": "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Official Music Video)",

    "description": "The official video for “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley",
