Usage

recommended_videos, tags = b.get_recommended_videos(type='trending')

You can also retrieve videos listed in popular and all from the homepage as well. These request currently return a list of videos as well as a list of tags. The latter is an artifact of the current implementation and is to be ignored. (Will be fixed later.)

about, videos = b.(channel_ids, get_channel_about=True, get_channel_videos=True)
