Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0 #71

eugabrielsilva · 2020-10-02T13:28:55Z

Some searches are returning this error... probably something related to JSON.parse() function.

TimeForANinja · 2020-10-02T22:08:45Z

looks like a major rework from youtube's side
this are the new api-data i could pull from that page (if anyone cares to see)
json.txt

i know it's a problem that the library crashes but i'm unsure if it makes sense to adopt at fastest speed possible
this might lead to major changes and a lot of work

dalisoft · 2020-10-09T00:39:50Z

Same issue

eugabrielsilva · 2020-10-11T00:19:34Z

None of my searches are working anymore because of this and I really need this library for my Discord Bot :(
If it is possible to fix it, I would be extremely grateful...

JackyKit123 · 2020-10-11T07:43:23Z

Same issue, but the problem doesn't occur in a consistent way. Sometime the same search query and option pass while sometimes it doesn't

DenysAshikhin · 2020-10-11T20:08:56Z

Would it be possible to have the current way and if it fails, attempt a more temporary duct-tape fix until we know for sure if the new API formatting will stay?

Or at least something we can do locally to force it to work upon a fail?

MrZBou · 2020-10-16T09:59:18Z

Same problem, 75% of requests returns this

flaviotordini · 2020-10-19T12:21:14Z

Hi all, until the bug is fixed I suggest this work around: in your script/app when you receive this error, clear the cookies in your http connection and retry. Do this until you get a working search, then keep the cookies.

How can I do this programmatically in an app running server side ?

TulioAbreu · 2020-10-21T01:43:06Z

😿 I'm having the same issue. Do you have any tips on how to hotfix this running inside Node environment?

that's the only hotfix i can provide for now

SoulHarsh007 · 2020-10-21T17:45:05Z

@TimeForANinja Have a look at https://github.com/SoulHarsh007/youtube-scrape/blob/master/scraper.js, I hope it helps you 😄

cyph84 · 2020-10-22T16:04:12Z

Seems like its happening 100% of the time now

TimeForANinja · 2020-10-22T19:03:45Z

i'd count that as a good sign

Siposattila · 2020-10-22T20:18:04Z

Yeah the problem occurs 100% all the time... :c

For now I am using YT Data API and waiting for this bug to resolve.

kira0x1 · 2020-10-26T10:52:45Z

funny enough another API I found had a similar problem. If I get time ill try to help out.

Klema4 · 2020-10-27T10:58:37Z

I have a similar problem too ngl. Is there a way to fix this faster than the devs? I don't want to wait another month :(

They were asking if it was faster.

It is, I think the dev said theyre short on time so if you can spend time on the repo that would be good ❤️

@1Conan
is this https://gist.github.com/1Conan/9446700b106759e7ba5dcad49dda4fc3#file-youtube-ts-L23 sth that randomly appears?

firsttobebear · 2020-11-05T17:01:51Z

Is there an update on the status?

Siposattila · 2020-11-05T19:39:06Z

Nope! I will try to help the devs but I have to work sry this project where I need this lib is just a side project for my own satisfaction.

firsttobebear · 2020-11-24T06:53:15Z

Any update?

TimeForANinja · 2020-11-24T07:04:30Z

try the wip: npm i ytsr@wip

batuhansahan · 2020-11-26T13:29:20Z

has any usage doc changed, because im getting "search string is mandatory" error. @TimeForANinja

TimeForANinja · 2020-11-26T15:44:37Z

Yep, quite a few things changed
Wip will end up in a new major release and I'll propably write some 'how to port' notes

For your use case I'd have to guess without more intel
My guess: if you use filters check the /test/e3e-test.js for changes 😉

batuhansahan · 2020-11-26T16:01:07Z

thanks @TimeForANinja for anyone want to use new api

      const filters = await ytsr.getFilters("NoCopyrightMusic");
      const filter = filters.get('Type').find(a => a.label === 'Video');
      const search = await ytsr(filter.query, { limit: 25 });
      console.log(search);

- [x] fix requests - [x] update exaple responses - [x] update typings - [x] update documentation / README - [x] rewrite tests closes #87 closes #71 closes #62 # Porting code * The Filters provided by `ytsr#getFilters` are now provided as Map of Maps instead of a Map of Arrays * `result#originalQuery` and `result#correctedQuery` were introduced to differentiate the query that we asked for and the query that youtube provided results for * all refinements are now found at `result#refinements` - sorted by relevance - instead of mixed into `result#items` * `result#active` was renamed to `result#activeFilters` * request options for miniget were moved to `options#requestOptions` * nextpageRef was replaced by the continuation feature => check the README for more information * boolean variables like `live` and `upcoming` were renamed to `isLive` and `isUpcoming` * `ShelfCompact` and `ShelfVertical` were merged into a single type `shelf` which contains an array of any kind of other item - this required the addition of the `GridMovie`-Type (short version of `Movie`) * The `show`-Type was added * `playlist#author` was renamed to `playlist#owner` * for the types `playlist` and `mix` the way thumbnail & firstItem are handled changed => check the typings or example responses * `pages` was added as a more request-efficient alternative to `limit` * all thumbnails are now `Image`-Objects with `url`, `width` and `height` properties - arrays of images are always sorted by descending resolution * all links have been renamed from `ref` to `url` to keep it consistend across all libraries * all snake_case variables were replaced by CamelCase * all users/channels feature both the `channelID` as well as a canonical `url`
