This package provides a simple youtube api for your Laravel application. It is based on my non-laravel package [Youtube API](https://github.com/MichaelBelgium/Youtube-to-mp3-API).

## Installation

* Install the package via composer:

```bash

composer require michaelbelgium/laravel-youtube-api

```

* Optional: publish the config file and edit if u like:

```bash

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=youtube-api-config

```

* This package uses [the public disk](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/filesystem#the-public-disk) of Laravel. Run this command to create a symbolic link to the public folder so that converted Youtube downloads are accessible:

```bash

php artisan storage:link

```

* Execute package migrations

```

php artisan migrate

```

* Acquire a Google API key at the [Google Developer Console](https://console.developers.google.com) for the API "Youtube Data API v3". Use this key in the environment variable `GOOGLE_API_KEY` - that this packages uses

# Software

On the server where your laravel app is located, you'll need to install some packages.

* Install ffmpeg (+ libmp3lame - see [this wiki](https://github.com/MichaelBelgium/Youtube-to-mp3-API/wiki/Installing-"ffmpeg"-and-"libmp3lame"-manually) for tutorial)

* [install youtube-dl](http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html)

# API Usage

This package adds 3 api routes. The route prefix, `/ytconverter/` in this case, is configurable.

* POST|GET /ytconverter/convert

* DELETE /ytconverter/{id}

* GET /ytconverter/search

Check the wiki page of this repository for more information about the routes.

## API authorization

If needed, you can protect the API routes with an authentication guard by setting `auth` in the configuration.

Example:

```PHP

'auth' => 'sanctum',

```

## API rate limiting

If needed, you can limit API calls by editing the config setting `ratelimiter`. See [Laravel docs](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#rate-limiting) for more information or examples.

Example:

```PHP

'ratelimiter' => function (Request $request) {

    return Limit::perMinute(5);

},

```
