TypeError in Playlist.js

[rakuzen25]

When I tried to run

const api = new YTMUSIC(
    "cookie",
    { userID: "" },
);
const data = await api.getPlaylist("RDCLAK5uy_k1Wu8QbZASiGVqr1wmie9NIYo38aBqscQ");
console.log(data);

Node exited with an error:

Node.js v19.3.0

Any ideas why?

Hello. Please update package to version 0.0.9

"dependencies": {
    "ytmusic": "^0.0.9"
  },

And then you should create API instance like this (for using without cookie):

const api = new YTMUSIC()

It should work, I've tested on my setup.

I will specify this in docs soon.

PS: I forgot to publish version, when I've fixed all bugs in october :)

[rakuzen25]

Thanks so much for the prompt reply! I'll take a look.

And then you should create API instance like this (for using without cookie):

Does that mean I cannot create an API with cookies now, or does that simply mean I can choose to use or not to use cookies?

You should be able to use both: anonymous requests and requests, which require a cookie (like creating a playlist).

If anything goes wrong, feel free to open an issue or mention me here!

Hmm, it feels like something isn't right here though:

ytmusic-api/index.ts

Lines 11 to 14 in 613a873

	constructor(
	private cookie: string,
	private args?: { userID: string; authUser?: number }
	) {

Shouldn't cookie and userID be optional then? My TS linter keeps calling me out for not specifying userID in the previous version, don't think this got fixed yet.

[vladdenisov]

Yeah, looks odd to me too. For now you can specify blank cookie const api = new YTMUSIC(""). I'll take a look into it a bit later

[rakuzen25]

No worries! Please keep up the amazing work - one of the few still-maintained YouTube Music API out there and the only one with full cookies support AFAIC 😁

I have another question related to browser usage but I'll open another issue. Cheers.

@vladdenisov I'm having an issue with using api.getPlaylists. I'm getting invalid args error. I've tried passing a blank string for userId along with cookie but still gives the error. I tried to search the docs for how to get a user id and authuser but couldn't find it
