[QUESTION] How would you get artists and albums with this client, if possible? #78

tacohitbox · 2022-06-19T22:47:32Z

Question

I looked around the documentation, and I see no mention of getting albums from YT Music at the moment. Is it possible to at the moment, and if not, can you add it?

Also you can get some artist metadata but I believe it's different than what YouTube Music responds with. Is it possible to get more information, like top tracks?

Many thanks.

Sample Code

I tried reading the album IDs as playlists with no luck. Example below.

const Yt = require("youtubei.js");

(async function() {
  let yt = await new Yt({gl: "US"});
  let a = await yt.getPlaylist("MPREb_iYZbnszRqas", {client: "YTMUSIC"});
  console.log(a);
})();

I did something similar with artist IDs and got some but not all of the information I need.

const Yt = require("youtubei.js");

(async function() {
  let yt = await new Yt({gl: "US"});
  let a = await yt.getChannel("UCXWUt1Cu2hVZYTaJ44ddusA", {client: "YTMUSIC"});
  console.log(a);
})();

Edited after I noticed I had similar trouble with artist IDs.

Not possible in v1, but v2 will bring full support for YouTube Music. See #65.

Available through `Innertube#music.getArtist(id: string)` #78

LuanRT · 2022-06-20T19:45:27Z

This is now possible after 7fc9b52 & 97d4cc1. If you would like to test it simply install the dev version.

Examples:

const album = await youtube.music.getAlbum('MPREb_lM0ql53ZzAr');
const artist = await youtube.music.getArtist('UC52ZqHVQz5OoGhvbWiRal6g');

Other than a lot of errors on albums being but into the console, like so, it works great:

Seems like you've used getAlbum() when it should've been getArtist().

Thanks for reporting that.
Those are silent errors so you don't have to worry about them for now.

Silly mistake on my part, apologies!
