YouTube Search

Overview

This Rust library provides an asynchronous interface for interacting with YouTube channels and videos. It uses the lemnoslife youtube API to fetch data from YouTube without the use of an API key. Please consider supporting them if you find this library useful.

Features

• Fetch a YouTube channel by name
• Get the latest videos from a channel
• Search for a video by its video ID

Requirements

• Rust (latest stable version recommended)
• Tokio runtime
• thiserror crate for error handling

Installation

Add the following line to your Cargo.toml file under the [dependencies] section:

youtube_search = "1.0.1"

Usage

Here's a simple example demonstrating how to use the library:

use youtube_search::{
    find_youtube_channel,
    find_latest_videos,
    find_video,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let channel = find_youtube_channel("ChannelName").await?;
    println!("Channel Title: {}", channel.title);

    let videos = find_latest_videos(&channel, 5).await?;
    println!("Latest videos: {:?}", videos);

    let video = find_video("video_id_here".to_string()).await?;
    println!("Video Title: {}", video.title);

    Ok(())
}
