Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/82

Hey, I'm using your module to get artist name and track name from youtube titles. So far its really good, works perfectly.But the problem is it just takes up a lot of time(around 1 sec for each title). So, if i have a playlist of 200 songs itll take around 200 seconds. So is there any way this can be done faster ?? I'm looking at multi threading as an option. Is there any other option?

Thanks

The API is not that fast unfortunately. You can try parallelizing, but I don't think you should overdo it (might get flagged as abuse).

For reference, on the YouTube Data API (official way), the search feature is one of the most expensive operations with 100 points per search (max of 100 searches per day on default limit of 10000).

thanks for reply, so you rely on the official api to get details on track names and artists??

No, in my project https://github.com/sigma67/spotifyplaylist_to_gmusic I use ytmusicapi, precisely because 100 searches is not enough to transfer playlists. I developed ytmusicapi for this reason in the first place. It does take a few minutes to transfer playlists with a few hundred items
