Authentication via OAuth

Usage

Before using any methods which require authentication, you have to authenticate the session:

// 'auth-pending' is fired with the info needed to sign in via OAuth.
yt.session.on('auth-pending', data => {
    // data.verification_url contains the URL to visit to authenticate.
    
    // data.user_code contains the code to enter on the website.
});

// 'auth' is fired once the authentication is complete
yt.session.on('auth', () => {
    console.log('Sign in successful');
});

await session.signIn();

Cache Credentials

If you don't wish to sign in every time you start the session, you can cache the credentials:

// If you use this, the next call to signIn won't fire 'auth-pending' instead just 'auth'
await yt.session.oauth.cacheCredentials();

Note: When using cached credentials, you are still required to make a call to Session#signIn.

Sign Out

The sign out method may be used to sign out of the current session. This should also remove the cached credentials.

await yt.session.signOut();

// if you don't want to sign out of the current session
// and only want to delete the cached credentials, use:
await yt.session.oauth.removeCache();
