Access parts of your account unavailable through normal YouTube API access.

## Installation

### Poetry

```shell
poetry add youtube-unofficial
```

### Pip

```shell
pip install youtube-unofficial
```

## Usage

This uses a browser cookie storage to be able to access authorised endpoints. There is no feature to
log in. You must be logged on in a supported browser. This supports any browser that yt-dlp
supports.

### Command line

```plain
Usage: youtube [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Unofficial YouTube CLI.

Options:
  -h, --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  clear-watch-history          Clear watch history.
  clear-watch-later            Clear watch later queue.
  print-history                Print your watch history.
  print-playlist               Print a playlist.
  print-watch-later            Print your Watch Later playlist.
  remove-history-entries       Remove videos from Watch History.
  remove-video-id              Remove videos from a playlist.
  remove-watch-later-video-id  Remove videos from your Watch Later queue.
  toggle-watch-history         Disable or enable watch history
```

Every command takes a `--debug` or `-d` argument to show very verbose logs.

Some commands accept a `-j`/`--json` argument to print machine-readable output as JSON lines.

### In Python

```python
from youtube_unofficial import YouTubeClient

# Arguments are the browser name and profile.
yt = YouTubeClient('chrome', 'Default')

# Clear watch history
yt.clear_watch_history()

# Remove a single video ID from Watch Later queue
yt.remove_video_id_from_playlist('WL', video_id)

# Clear entire Watch Later queue
yt.clear_watch_later()
```

## Contributing

For a new feature to be accepted, it must be something that _cannot_ be achieved with Google's
official API. It also has to be on the youtube.com/youtu.be website or app and not a place like
_My Activity_.

Code must run through `yarn qa` and have zero issues.
