youtube-page-token

A function that translates a desired index to a YouTube pageToken. With the playlistItems.list method, the range of indexes that are accept has been found to be [0,100000], so that is also the restriction for this package.

Install:

npm install youtube-page-token

Usage:

var createPageToken = require('youtube-page-token');

var zero = createPageToken(0); // defaults to a token for fetching the next page
console.log(zero); // 'CAAQAA'

var one = createPageToken(1, { previous: true }); // previous page
console.log(zero); // 'CAEQAQ'

In context:

var desiredPosition = 10;
var pageToken = createPageToken(desiredPosition);

// get a page of ${maxResults} playlistItems, starting with the ${desiredPosition}th item.
