I'm doing a lot of testing on the API this week, hope my filing of issues is helpful and not obnoxious. I know the API is in flux, just adding info as I discover it and happy to help debug or work on PRs although I'm a weak developer.

Until this morning (8/19), get_history() was excluding non-"song" type YouTube videos, and it is now returning them. In this case videoId jjwilAja7Lc. I discovered this while trying to pull out the ['artists'] key from the get_song() JSON.

Not sure if this is really an issue, but it's worth knowing for those who are using the info assuming that a "song" with "artists" is being returned.

Update: this behavior appears to be sporadic. I'm really having trouble getting consistent results from get_history()

Thanks for the heads up. Seems like there are some server-side changes going on if you didn't change anything. I suggest we merge this into #56 .
