README

A work-in-progress API that emulates web requests from the YouTube Music web client.

This is a port of sigma67/ytmusicapi, an unofficial API implementation written in Python.

This package being used in production in one of my applications, I will do my best to keep it up to date with the latest evolutions of the YouTube Music client. I don't plan on porting more features than I need using the YouTube Music API into my app. Contributions are open!

Features

Browsing:

• search (including all filters)
• get artist information and releases (songs, videos, albums, singles)
• get user information (videos, playlists)
• get albums
• get song metadata
• get watch playlists (playlist that appears when you press play in YouTube Music)

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+ and Laravel 8 or higher

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require mgkprod/ytmusicapi

The package will automatically register itself.

You can optionally publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MGKProd\YTMusic\YTMusicServiceProvider" --tag="config"

Usage

use MGKProd\YTMusic\Facades\YTMusic;

// search in all
$results = YTMusic::browse()->search('daft punk');

// filtered search (albums, artists, playlists, songs or videos)
$artists = YTMusic::browse()->search('magenta', 'artists');
$songs = YTMusic::browse()->search('blizzard oddscure', 'songs');

// artist
$artist = YTMusic::browse()->artist('MPLAUCmMUZbaYdNH0bEd1PAlAqsA');

// ... and his albums
$albums = YTMusic::browse()->artistAlbums(
    $artist['albums']['browseId'],
    $artist['albums']['params']
);

// ... or his singles
$singles = YTMusic::browse()->artistAlbums(
    $artist['singles']['browseId'],
    $artist['singles']['params']
);

// album
$album = YTMusic::browse()->album('MPREb_BQZvl3BFGay');

// song
$song = YTMusic::browse()->song('ZrOKjDZOtkA');

// user
$user = YTMusic::browse()->user('UCPVhZsC2od1xjGhgEc2NEPQ');

// ... and his playlists
$playlists = YTMusic::browse()->userPlaylists(
    'UCPVhZsC2od1xjGhgEc2NEPQ',
    $user['playlists']['params']
);

The tests are also a great source of usage examples.
