youtube-search-cli

==================

CLI script that searches the [youtube api v3](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/)

youtube limits a single page of results to 50 and a single search to 500 results.

this module will repeatedly query the api over different time periods to build up a full list of results for a given search topic.

## install

```

$ npm install youtube-search-cli -g

```

## usage

```

Usage: youtube-search-cli

Options:

    -s, --search  Search String  [required]

    -k, --key     API Key        [required]

    -t, --total   Print Total dont search

    -m, --max     Max results

```

## output

The results are streamed the stdout:

```json

{

	"count":5439,

	"results":[{

		

	},{

		

	}]

}

```

You can use [JSONStream](https://github.com/dominictarr/JSONStream) to process the results into your own fashion.

## API

```js

var youtube = require('youtube-search-cli');

var bot = Bot({

	search:'Castle Coombe',

	key:'...',

	max:5000

});

// get the full total for the search

bot.total(function(error, total){

})

// run the search

bot.query(function(video){

	// each video is streamed to here

})

```
