Hi,

thanks for your time creating this script.
Can you tell if there is a possibility to get the streaming url for a track like the gmusicapi did?

Greetings,
Andreas

Hey, this is currently not implemented.

Every song/video on YouTube Music is essentially a YouTube video. Most of this project uses the API music.youtube.com, however when you press 'Play' in YouTube Music, it uses the regular YouTube endpoints. I think the endpoint https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info is used to get video streaming data. Therefore I think getting a streaming URL might be out of scope for this API, since there's many existing APIs for dealing with YouTube videos.

For example, you should be able to use youtube-dl to download the song. There's a sample implementation in tombulled's project.
