Featured Playlists

Dataset / Raw

Outline

• It uses a basic txt formatting not json for efficiency.
• A new playlist data appears after every blank line.
• Each data item is separated by a line.
• The first item is playlist name.
• The second item is playlist id.
• The third item is playlist thumbnail id.

How to add your own playlist

1. Visit your desired ytm site, Beatbump recommended.
2. Search your desired playlist and open it.
3. Get the playlist id from the link of the playlist.
4. Get the thumbnail id from the image link of the thumbnail.
5. Add to the database by following the outline above.

Develop

Here's an example implementation in js that converts the text to array to an array of objects.

fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/n-ce/ytify/ytm_pls.md')
    .then(res => res.text())
    .then(text => text.split('\n'))
    .then(data => {
      const array = [];
      for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i += 4)
        array.push({
          "type": "playlist",
          "name": data[i + 1],
          "uploaderName": "YouTube Music",
          "url": '/playlists/' + data[i + 2],
          "thumbnail": '/' + data[i + 3]
        });
       // do whatever with array
    });
