It provides both synchronous and asynchronous search interfaces, returning results with titles, view counts, thumbnails, and channel information. The library depends only on httpx for HTTP requests.\n\nThe package was last updated on 2022-06-23 and is now archived and unmaintained. While it may still work for basic searches, YouTube's interface changes since then mean functionality could break without warning, and no fixes will be provided.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned as of 2022-06-23 with no maintenance since then. While it may function for simple searches today, YouTube's ongoing changes mean it will likely break without warning and receive no fixes.
