youtube-chapters-finder

  

	
A tiny npm library that helps get chapters from any Youtube video.







---

## Problem

I wanted to get the chapters from a youtube video, but I couldn't find such functionality in the [Youtube API](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3). So I made one.

## Installation

`npm i youtube-chapters-finder`

## Example

Get all chapters from this youtube video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8LUnhP5yU

```js

import YoutubeChaptersGetter from 'youtube-chapters-finder'

async function getChapters() {

  return await YoutubeChaptersGetter.getChapter('Gi8LUnhP5yU') // video id

}

// expected output:

[

  {

    title: 'Introduction',

    time: '0:00',

    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8LUnhP5yU&t=0s'

  },

  {

    title: 'Are there intelligent life out there',

    time: '2:27',

    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8LUnhP5yU&t=147s'

  },

  {

    title: 'We dont mean all of space',

    time: '3:02',

    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8LUnhP5yU&t=182s'

  },

  {

    title: 'Intelligent life',

    time: '5:42',

    url: 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8LUnhP5yU&t=342s'

  },

  ...

]

```

## Usage

This package is intended to be used in server-side applications (Next.js included). I may add support for client-side applications in the future.
