# queryt
API keyless YouTube querying tool in C
This program makes a quick youtube query of a inputted query and uses the [libcurl](https://curl.se/libcurl/) libraries to download the full HTML page and scrape the query json form the HTML, then uses [json-c](https://github.com/json-c/json-c) libraries to search for videos array and displays this videos information according to user passed arguments.
## Dependencies
* [libcurl](https://curl.se/libcurl/) *(curl)*
* [json-c](https://github.com/json-c/json-c) *(present on most linux distros)*
## How to use
### Install
`sudo make clean install`
### Usage
`queryt -s <search query>`
### Commands
* **-f, --format** - uses format modifiers to customize the output **\[aditRT\]**
* **-m, --max** - defines the max number of displayed results
* **-s, --search** - search content on youtube
* **-h, --help** - display this help and exit
* **-v, --version** - output version information and exit
#### Format Modifiers
* **a** author
* **d** duration or video length
* **i** video id
* **t** title
* **R** return
* **T** tab
### Example
`queryt -s "Never Gonna Give You Up" -m 5 -f iTaTdRt`
Search for the video "Never Gonna Give You Up" sets the max results to 5 and formats it by showing the information by this order:
\[video id\] *tab* \[author\] *tab* \[duration\] *return* \[title\]
## Limitations
Due to the way youtube json's are formatted, without an API key, the program is limitted to get 21 search results in best case scenario.
