addParam('type', 'video') doesn't filter out all videos

[JWOverschot]

on https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list
type video is valid. But it doesn't work, it still returns channels instead of only videos.

youTube.addParam('type', 'video')

Any idea what it could be?

I'm having the same problem!

Have an example of implementation code?

[Delivator]

As the README sugsessed (https://github.com/nodenica/youtube-node#optional-parameters), I used this code:

const YouTube = require("youtube-node");

const yt= new YouTube();
yt.setKey(settings.youtubeApiKey);
yt.addParam("type", "video");

But I still get playlists in my results.

After searching for a bit, the search method calls the clearParams method which removes the type property...

The pull request #40 should prevent the issue you are describing if it is merged.

Meanwhile, you can add the params in the search method parameters

yt.search(keyword, maxResults, { type: 'video' }, () => {
    ...
})
