Let me introduce you Suchtube, Youtube search as a service.

SuchTube is a server and a CLI app to search videos on YouTube. It also comes with Slack integration, so you can search videos using a custom Slash Command:

/suchtube funny cats --random

The project is built with Node.js. You can found the source code (MIT licensed) and more documentation in GitHub: https://github.com/markets/suchtube.

CLI

The CLI allows you to search videos without leaving the terminal. Install globally it via:

> npm install -g suchtube

NOTE You we’ll need a YouTube Data API key loaded in your ENV (SUCHTUBE_YOUTUBE_DATA_API_V3). You can get one easily by creating a project here.

Usage:

> suchtube funny cats
> suchtube football top goals --random --open

Or start the server:

> suchtube --server

Suchtube as a library

You can also use Suchtube in your Node.js app:

const suchtube = require('suchtube')

suchtube.search('funny cats', { random: true }).then(video => {
  console.log(video.title)
  console.log(video.link)
  console.log(video.publishedAt)
})

Hope you like it!
