Setup

Installation

pip install ytmusicapi

Authenticated requests

To run authenticated requests you need to set up you need to copy your request headers from a POST request in your YTMusic Web Client. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Open https://music.youtube.com in Firefox
  • Go to the developer tools (Ctrl-Shift-I) and find an authenticated POST request. You can filter for /browse to easily find a suitable request.
  • Copy the request headers (right click > copy > copy request headers)

Now call :pyYTMusic.setup() and paste the request headers and it will create configuration file in the correct format in the current directory.

Manual file creation

Alternatively, you can paste the three missing items to headers_auth.json below and create your own file:

../../headers_auth.json.example
