Want to access data from the YouTube Data v3 API? Want a Node.js YouTube API wrapper with typings, promises, and caching? No problem! We've got ya covered. npm i popyt

Here are some basic methods (try it on CodeSandbox):

Instantiate the object:

const { YouTube } = require('popyt')
const youtube = new YouTube(apiKey)

Instantiate the object without caching:

const { YouTube } = require('popyt')
const youtube = new YouTube(apiKey, undefined, { cache: false })

Get a video by ID:

const video = await youtube.getVideo('dQw4w9WgXcQ')
console.log(video)

You can do the same thing with playlists, channels, and comments by replacing Video with any of them.

Get a video by URL:

const video = await youtube.getVideo('https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ')
console.log(video)

Get a video by title (or similar title):

const video = await youtube.getVideo('never gonna give you up')
console.log(video)

Search videos:

const search = await youtube.searchVideos('never gonna give you up')
console.log(search.items.map(v => v.title).join('\n')) // titles of 50 beautiful videos

Note: This wrapper does not implement every feature of the YouTube API. If you would like anything added, feel free to open a PR or an issue. The limits imposed by the wrapper are not imposed by YouTube.
