**Important :** Since the data we need is not provided by Google's official API, this library does not require you to provide an API key or any other credentials. However, the the library heavily relies on undocumented APIs and DOM parsing. For these reason, I do not recommend the use of this library in mission critical environment since it can break at any moment from a change in YouTube's code
