v1.10.0: Add fetch option for proxy support; honest README about IP filtering
@devhims devhims tagged this 12 May 12:07 
Two related changes around datacenter-IP deployments:

- New optional 'fetch' field on Options. getSubtitles and getVideoDetails
  now accept a custom fetch implementation, so users deploying to Vercel,
  AWS Lambda, or Cloudflare Workers can route requests through a
  residential proxy (undici ProxyAgent, etc.) to bypass YouTube's bot
  challenge. Defaults to global fetch — fully backward compatible.

- README now accurately describes which environments work. The previous
  copy claimed Vercel / AWS Lambda / Edge Runtime were fully supported.
  That hasn't been true since YouTube rolled out aggressive datacenter-IP
  filtering in 2024 — most deployments hit "Sign in to confirm you're
  not a bot". Replaced the misleading section with a real environment
  table and a worked example of the proxy pattern.
