I was just trying to search, and came across that browseId was not appearing for the top result (an album). When searching with album filter, it appears, which is kinda weird. I don't believe this happens because of youtube's API.

Code I'm currently using:

async def search(query: str, filter: SearchFilter = None, limit: int = 20):
  authorized_ytmusic = get_ytmusic()
  return authorized_ytmusic.search(query, filter=filter.value if filter else None, limit=limit)

Yeah, the top results are parsed differently (since they are a different layout), so there might be some keys missing. See here:
