## Installing
```bash

```bash
pip install yt-api-wrapper[orjson]
```
## How to Use?
This library is simple to use and often requires just a single line of code.
Here are some quick examples:
```python
from yt_api_wrapper import YouTubeAPIWrapper # Import the library
yt = YouTubeAPIWrapper() # Create API wrapper
yt.auto_complete('pytho') # Auto Complete example
video = yt.get_video_info('dQw4w9WgXcQ') # Get video info
results = yt.search_videos('python course') # Search videos
channel = yt.get_channel_info('UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw') # Get channel info
```
### Asynchronous Usage
```python
import asyncio
from yt_api_wrapper import AsyncYouTubeAPIWrapper
yt_async = AsyncYouTubeAPIWrapper()
async def main():
suggestions = await yt_async.auto_complete('pytho')
print(suggestions)
video_info = await yt_async.get_video_info('dQw4w9WgXcQ')
print(video_info)
search_results = await yt_async.search_videos('python course')
print(search_results)
channel_info = await yt_async.get_channel_info('UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw')
print(channel_info)
asyncio.run(main())
```
