YouTubeAPI-Edge 

YouTubeAPI-Edge is a lightweight library for interacting with the YouTube API, designed to run seamlessly in modern JavaScript environments, including edge platforms like Cloudflare Workers.

Note: This library is a work in progress. Currently, only list methods for GET requests are supported. Expect potential bugs and missing features.

Features

- Edge-compatible: Designed to run in environments that support the Web standard fetch API, such as Cloudflare Workers.
- Standardized HTTP client: Uses the Web standard fetch API instead of Node.js-specific HTTP libraries like http or axios, ensuring broad compatibility.
- Familiar and intuitive interface: Mirrors the interface of the official Google API Node.js Client for ease of use.

Installation

Install the library using your preferred package manager:

``bash
npm install youtubeapi-edge


OR

yarn add youtubeapi-edge

OR

pnpm add youtubeapi-edge
`

Usage

To use the library, initialize it with your Google API key and specify the API version (default is v3).

`typescript
import { youtubeapiEdge } from "youtubeapi-edge";

const youtube = youtubeapiEdge({
auth: process.env["GOOGLE_API_KEY"]!, // Replace with your API key
version: "v3",
});

const result = await youtube.channels.list({
id: channelId, // Replace with the target channel ID
part: ["snippet"],
});
`
