Captions endpoint can result in WebVTT file.

Captions endpoint can result in WebVTT file.

Um so when I do client.captions("VIDEO_ID", None), it returns something like this

Captions {
    captions: [Caption {
        label: "English (auto-generated)",
        language: "",
        url: "/api/v1/captions/FhhyqkbtaR4?label=English+%28auto-generated%29"
    }]
}

Which contains the url to the real captions file, I guess I'll just fix up some docs on how this works and bump up the crate.

But do u think its a bit overkill to bump up the version without any real changes?

If I was you I'd just bump up the patch version to 0.7.3 as you only changed the docs.

[Siriusmart]

    let client = get_invidious_client(); // The invidious client of this lib
    let result = client
        .fetch(&format!(
            "{}/api/v1/captions/{caption_id}?label={label}&languageCode={language}",
            client.instance
        ))
        .await?;

Given that client.captions() returns a url that looks like this /api/v1/captions/FhhyqkbtaR4?label=English+%28auto-generated%29, I have made some changes to the client.fetch() function.

• That string can just be passed into client.fetch(), without needing to use format!("{instance}{url}")
• The url can include leading slashed, or not
• The original behaviour of client.fetch() is a duplicate of client.method.fetch(), so if you still want the original behaviour, it's still there. But since client is already specific to an instance, it would make sense to not ask for the instance address again

(note: that piece of code will break on 0.7.3)
