Welcome to the VueTube Extractor Wiki!

VueTube Extractor is the back end of the VueTube project. The aim of the extractor is to request and parse data from various video streaming service APIs. Our primary goal is to provide a simple and powerful platform-agnostic library that developers can use to retrieve and extract data from video streaming services without worrying about low-level communication with each API. Currently, our main focus is on reverse engineering the internal YouTube API, also known as Innertube, and parsing the response from it into a simplified, more human-readable format

This wiki serves as a central hub for contributors to the project. It provides a comprehensive guide on how to reverse engineer the internal YouTube API, document known features of the YouTube API, how the repository is structured and what everything does, as well as future plans for the project.
