node-youtube-music's Issues

Searching playlists throws error

Hey, thanks for creating this amazing API. I have some issues with searching playlists, do you mind taking a look?
TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'contents' of 'body.contents.tabbedSearchResultsRenderer.tabs[0].tabRenderer.content.sectionListRenderer.contents[0].musicShelfRenderer' as it is undefined.

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module node_modules\node-youtube-music\dist\index.js not supported.

listMusicsFromPlaylist seems to be broken

Error while installing the package.

I got the error

npm ERR! Cannot read property 'version' of undefined

Suggestions seem to be broken

It seems to not be able to parse YouTube's response anymore. Here is what getSuggestions(id) returns for Stronger by Kanye:

[
  {
    youtubeId: '2ulp_AMut14',
    title: 'Stronger',
    artists: [ [Object] ],
    isExplicit: true,
    album: 'Graduation',
    thumbnailUrl: 'https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/LENzUxyoVSRKUEZrw6nG5cOajuDDnFaIQIbD3LW95HaLLNOW4IHHvpGl0nmCoyFpiQE93jtT2FJTJk2Oqg=w544-h544-l90-rj',
    duration: { label: '5:12', totalSeconds: 312 }
  },
  {
    youtubeId: undefined,
    title: undefined,
    artists: undefined,
    isExplicit: false,
    album: undefined,
    thumbnailUrl: undefined,
    duration: undefined
  }
]

There are also many warnings printed to the console, saying that it can't retrieve any of the attributes.

console spammed with errors when using listMusicsFromPlaylist but works

Hello, I am currently trying to use listMusicsFromPlaylist and it working, but its spamming my console with

Couldn't parse album TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')

Artists support

As I started to work on artists, I encountered a few issues.

• Not every artist has Songs section e.g Bella Poarch
• I didn't found a way to distinguish sections between Albums, Singles and Videos

For now Artist object contains:

• name - artist name
• songsPlaylistId - id of the playlist with every song
• description
• thumbnails - array with artist's pictures in different resolutions

As I mentioned before songsPlaylistId isn't always defined. Also when artist has less than 5 songs songsPlaylistId isn't there too. I was thinking about featuredSongs, which would contain 5 or less songs listed in Songs section. There would be one caveat: API doesn't provide a duration of these songs.

What else should I add?

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module ...\node_modules\node-youtube-music\dist\index.js from ...\index.js not supported.

i've been getting these errors everytime i try to normally require the module, probably due to a broken esm

const { searchMusics } = require('node-youtube-music');
                         ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C:\Users\User\Desktop\Recycle Bin\lucspyt\node_modules\node-youtube-music\dist\index.js from C:\Users\User\Desktop\Recycle Bin\lucspyt\index.js not supported.
Instead change the require of ...\node_modules\node-youtube-music\dist\index.js in ...\index.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
    at Object.<anonymous> (...\index.js:7:26) {
  code: 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'
}

luckily, i found a work-around with fix-esm:

const { searchMusics } = require("fix-esm").require('node-youtube-music');
searchMusics("Bound 2 - Kanye West")
    .then(function(data) {
        console.log(`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=${data[0].youtubeId}`); //output should be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gjKuISTMRE
    });

album is artist with search()

The search function returns same data as artist for album

Error ytMusic.searchMusics

TypeError: ytMusic.searchMusics is not a function

listMusicsFromPlaylist thumbnails and searchMusics thumbnails being different

listMusicsFromPlaylist returns a youtube thumbnail

but searchMusics returns an album art

API does not work in Russia server

Hello, I encounter non-result search when I use this API on my server. Anyone has an idea why ?

Use API key from YouTube Data API

I assume that the API key used to query youtube music is hard coded here. It would be better to have a configurable API key so that any one can use their Youtube Data API key to search music.

Add a license.

Hello, I suggest you to add a license to this project.

Parsers fail, new Youtube API?

Specs don't pass: https://github.com/baptisteArno/node-youtube-music/runs/4148763353

Albums tests don't pass, maybe Youtube Music API changed a bit.
