Hi, I use this API for making playlists automatically.
using Google Colaboratory.

I have a problem with creating a playlist.

After succeeded in YTMusic.setup(filepath="headers_auth.json"),
I tried these codes;

YTMusic.create_playlist(title='API TEST 1', description = "description for API TEST 1")

It has Error;

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
[<ipython-input-21-48e5eff91149>](https://localhost:8080/#) in <module>()
----> 1 YTMusic.create_playlist(title='API TEST 1', description = "description for API TEST 1")

TypeError: create_playlist() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

What should I assign the value self ?

Please tell me how to avoid this problem.

Thank you
