Examples

Basic usage with a pre-created cookie file :

#[tokio::main]
pub async fn main() -> Result<(), ytmapi_rs::Error> {
    let cookie_path = std::path::Path::new("./cookie.txt");
    let yt = ytmapi_rs::YtMusic::from_cookie_file(cookie_path).await?;
    yt.get_search_suggestions("Beatles").await?;
    let result = yt.get_search_suggestions("Beatles").await?;
    println!("{:?}", result);
    Ok(())
}

Basic usage - oauth:

#[tokio::main]
pub async fn main() -> Result<(), ytmapi_rs::Error> {
    let (code, url) = ytmapi_rs::generate_oauth_code_and_url().await?;
    println!("Go to {url}, finish the login flow, and press enter when done");
    let mut _buf = String::new();
    let _ = std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut _buf);
    let token = ytmapi_rs::generate_oauth_token(code).await?;
    // NOTE: The token can be re-used until it expires, and refreshed once it has,
    // so it's recommended to save it to a file here.
    let yt = ytmapi_rs::YtMusic::from_oauth_token(token);
    let result = yt.get_search_suggestions("Beatles").await?;
    println!("{:?}", result);
    Ok(())
}
