I'm getting this error when searching YouTube Music:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mgn/Documents/burgertunes/burgertunes.py", line 5, in <module>
    search_results = ytmusic.search("A Short Hike")
TypeError: SearchMixin.search() missing 1 required positional argument: 'query'

My code:

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

ytmusic = YTMusic
search_results = ytmusic.search("A Short Hike")
print(search_results)

Please doublecheck your code to fix simple errors like yours.

Correct initialization looks like this

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic

ytmusic = YTMusic()
