YouTube Music Relay API

This is a Simple Project Aimed at Simplifying the Process of Making a Custom YouTube Music Client.

The Approach here is to use the ytmusicapi library for Python to create and host a simple API that can be used in Various kinds of Frontends ranging from Native/Progressive Applications to Web Application.

Currently the repo as it is is hosted on render, https://ytmrelay-api.onrender.com.

How to Use it?

1. Setting up Pipenv

Well, I recently started using pipenv and I love it, so I used pipenv here and you should too! Install pipenv for you Platform. Visit Pipenv Docs and follow the steps there. As far as I know its only

pip install --user pipenv

2. Installing Dependencies

Dependencies are listed in the Pipfile and Pipfile.lock files so installing them is really easy!!

pipenv install

3. Run the Damn Thing

Either One Line

Reccomended if you know it will work no matter what

pipenv run gunicorn --reload wsgi:app

or 2 Lines

Reccomended if you wanna debug and dont want to suffix pipenv run everytime

pipenv shell

gunicorn --reload wsgi:app
