Usage
=======

Unauthenticated
---------------
Unauthenticated requests for retrieving playlist content or searching:

.. code-block:: python

    from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

    ytmusic = YTMusic()


If an endpoint requires authentication you will receive an error:
``Please provide authentication before using this function``

Authenticated
-------------
For authenticated requests you need to set up your credentials first: :doc:`Setup <setup/index>`

After you have created the authentication JSON, you can instantiate the class:

.. code-block:: python

    from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
    ytmusic = YTMusic("oauth.json")


With the :code:`ytmusic` instance you can now perform authenticated requests:

.. code-block:: python

    playlistId = ytmusic.create_playlist("test", "test description")
    search_results = ytmusic.search("Oasis Wonderwall")
    ytmusic.add_playlist_items(playlistId, [search_results[0]['videoId']])

Brand accounts
##############
To send requests as a brand account, there is no need to change authentication credentials.
Simply provide the ID of the brand account when instantiating YTMusic.
You can get the ID from https://myaccount.google.com/ after selecting your brand account
(https://myaccount.google.com/b/21_digit_number).

Example:

.. code-block:: python

    from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
    ytmusic = YTMusic("oauth.json", "101234161234936123473")
