yt-video-data

Usage

add package to your project. (npm package coming soon)

pnpm add yt-video-data

use it with await inside a async function a good practice is it to wrap the call in an try-catch block when using await!

import { YTVideoData } from "yt-video-data";

const ytvd = new YTVideoData();
let res;
(async () => {
  try {
    res = await ytvd.getInfo('JeSkFRTj7kU');
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
    return false;
  }
  console.log(res);
})();

or with the then & catch callback

import { YTVideoData } from "yt-video-data";

const ytvd = new YTVideoData();
ytvd.getInfo("JeSkFRTj7kU")
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.log(error));

output for 'JeSkFRTj7kU':
