Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/355

hey i'm developping a piece of code to sync my youtube music to last.fm (https://github.com/louis030195/ega/tree/main/functions/youtube_music_to_lastfm)

and i'd like to avoid adding duplicates by hashing artist + music + time listened

but in ytmusicapi there is just "played" "today" no timestamp, is it a bottleneck from youtube music api or it could be fixed here? happy to contribute if necessary

I assume you're referring to the history page. Can only scrape what's there on https://music.youtube.com/history. As you can see it's only clustered by date without timestamp. Background data is rarely much more than what you can see on the frontend, in this case there is no timestamp. Nice project though.

Understandable
