A Python 3 library that provides an unofficial API client for YouTube Music by emulating the web client's requests, using user cookie data for authentication. It supports searching, browsing artists and albums, managing playlists and library content, uploading songs, and accessing podcasts and charts.
Use cases
- programmatically search youtube music for songs and artists
- create and manage youtube music playlists from a script
- scrape song lyrics and metadata from youtube music
- upload songs to my youtube music library via api
- get music charts and mood playlists by country
- automate rating and adding songs to my youtube music library
When to choose
- you need programmatic access to youtube music features not covered by official APIs
- you want to automate playlist creation, library management, or uploads in Python
- you need region- and language-aware youtube music data
When to avoid
- you need an officially supported and guaranteed-stable API
- you are not comfortable providing your account cookies for authentication
- you need a non-Python client
