Project description
youtube-search-requests
Search Youtube videos using python requests without Youtube API.
youtube-search-requests can search up to 120+ videos !
youtube-search-requests v0.0.2 can search unlimited videos !!!
Normally youtube-search-requests only extract urls, you can extract additional information by installing youtube-dl, for more information check usage below..
in v0.0.2, features like "validate", "extract_info", "include_related_videos" is gone, but dont worry "include_related_videos" will be back in future updates.
also, you don't need youtube-dl module anymore, youtube-search-requests now extract info by itself. And provide a very fast search rather than old version (v0.0.1)

You might be wonder, how youtube-search-requests work ?
in-short-word:
youtube-search-requests work like Youtube in browsers (playing with POST and GET method).
in-long-word:
- First, youtube-search-requests create a session for Youtube. (every opened youtube page in browser have it own session id)
- Second, youtube-search-requests search videos using "internal Youtube API" that have been used youtube for searching videos in browsers.
- There we go, done !!! :D.
