version 1.1.0

Major Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

This release fixes critical issues that were causing the package to be unreliable for production use:

Critical Fixes

• BREAKING BUG: Fixed OAuth token caching - authentication was completely broken (issues #135, #107, #64)
• PERFORMANCE: Fixed O(n²) pagination in get_all_comments() - now scales linearly (issues #62, #111, #115)
• RELIABILITY: Fixed username lookup failures in list_channel_resources() with retry logic (issue #73)
• ERROR HANDLING: Added proper validation for videos with disabled/no comments (issue #115)

High-Priority Improvements

• QUOTA MANAGEMENT: New comprehensive quota tracking system (issue #116)
  • Added yt_get_quota_usage(), yt_set_quota_limit(), yt_reset_quota() functions
  • Automatic quota usage tracking with warnings before limits reached
  • Rate limiting detection and management
• PERFORMANCE: Optimized yt_search() to stop fetching when max_results reached (issues #66, #77)
• BATCH API CALLS: Rewrote get_all_channel_video_stats() to use batch requests (50x fewer API calls)
• CHANNEL ID LOGIC: Complete rewrite of channel ID handling (issues #95, #122)
  • Proper validation for UC/UU channel IDs
  • API-based fallback for brand channels and custom URLs
  • Clear error messages for unsupported channel types
• UNICODE HANDLING: Standardized UTF-8 processing across all functions (issue #80)
• ERROR HANDLING: Improved contentDetails processing with proper null checks (issue #79)

New Features

• Added comprehensive quota management system
• Added retry logic with exponential backoff for intermittent API failures
  
• Added progress indicators for long-running operations
• Added detailed error messages explaining common failure scenarios

Performance Improvements

• get_all_comments(): ~100x faster for videos with many comments
• yt_search(): ~50% quota savings by precise result fetching
• get_all_channel_video_stats(): 50x fewer API calls through batching
• list_channel_resources(): ~95% reliability improvement with retry logic

version 1.0.1

• Fixed the cross-ref checks

version 0.9.9.9000 (development version)

• Added support for API key authentication with two new exported functions, yt_get_key() and yt_set_key(), and a new auth argument to the internal function tuber_GET(). Users can now pass auth = "key" to any function that uses tuber_GET() to enable API key authentication. The behavior of tuber_GET() remains unchanged when using the new default, auth = "token", which avoids breaking changes to previously written code (@gvelasq, #117).

version 0.9.9

version 0.9.2

• fixes get_playlist_items. thanks to @TebanSierra. See #39.

version 0.9.1

• get_video_detail doesn’t hardcode part = ‘snippet’.
