This is my code ytmusicsearch.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
import json
import sys

ytmusic = YTMusic('headers_auth.json')
search_results = ytmusic.search(sys.argv[1])
print(json.dumps(search_results[0]))

I execute it like this: ./ytmusicsearch.py "eminem - we made you" | jq

But all I get in response is:

{
  "resultType": "top resul",
  "title": "We Made You",
  "thumbnails": [
    {
      "url": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IA6sdmqe3uXwtYgNNbi8WDD6LmFcsSRccmHErKlNWh-WvWoyIHcnLrmVlPbdLMT5SDqo2DRHjUbQLU9m=w60-h60-l90-rj",
      "width": 60,
      "height": 60
    },
    {
      "url": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IA6sdmqe3uXwtYgNNbi8WDD6LmFcsSRccmHErKlNWh-WvWoyIHcnLrmVlPbdLMT5SDqo2DRHjUbQLU9m=w120-h120-l90-rj",
      "width": 120,
      "height": 120
    }
  ]
}

There is no videoId in the first result. For other search_results the videoId is present, it is missing only from the top result
