+# TubeZero
+
+A modular collection of JavaScript functions designed to scrape and reverse-engineer data from YouTube using its private internal API (**InnerTube**). This library is built to be ultra-lightweight, free of heavy external dependencies, and optimized for client-side environments (such as browser extensions or desktop applications).
+
+---
+
+## ⚖️ Comparison with Other Libraries
+
+To ensure complete transparency, here is a comparison between **TubeZero** and the other main InnerTube libraries available on GitHub:
+
+| Feature/Property | **TubeZero** (This Project) | **LuanRT/YouTube.js** (youtubei.js) | **SuspiciousLookingOwl/youtubei** |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Architecture** | Lite, pure fetch client, zero external dependencies | Full-featured monolithic SDK mapping almost all renderers | Object-oriented TypeScript query client |
+| **Optimization** | Client-side & Web-Extension optimized | Heavy backend/server-side oriented | Node.js oriented with class-based queries |
+| **Pros & Use Cases** | Extremely lightweight, fast, no compilation required. Native extraction of `SAPISID` and `SAPISIDHASH` via Web Crypto API for authenticated requests. | Complete coverage of features (deciphering video download signatures, live chat, dedicated interfaces for Music/Studio/Kids). | Class-based abstractions, clean TypeScript interface for querying videos, channels, and playlists. |
+| **Limitations** | Lacks video download deciphering, full catalog of renderer schemas, and dedicated YT Music/Studio/Kids interfaces. | Large bundle size, complex codebase, requires polyfills/build tools to run in client/extension frontends. | Requires compilation, coupled with Node.js dependencies, not designed for direct client-side integration. |
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Important Note on CORS and Cookies
+
+When this library is executed in a standard browser environment (e.g., on a standard website like `myapp.com`), requests to `youtube.com/youtubei` will be blocked due to browser **CORS** policies.
+
+### Recommended Execution Environments:
+1. **Browser Extensions:** Optimal. By granting host permissions for `https://*.youtube.com/*` in `manifest.json`, the extension bypasses CORS and can read session cookies directly to compute the `SAPISIDHASH` for authenticated requests.
+2. **Desktop & Mobile Applications (Electron, Tauri, React Native):** By controlling HTTP headers and disabling CORS, these applications can run the library natively.
+3. **Server-side Environments (Node.js) with a CORS Proxy:** Requests can be routed through a reverse proxy that removes header restrictions.
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Installation (Package Structure)
+
+To prepare the package for local usage or NPM publishing:
+
+```bash
+# Initialize the package if exported into a dedicated folder
+npm init -y
+```
+
+Add `"type": "module"` in your `package.json` to enable loading of ES modules.
+
+---
+
+## 💻 Usage Examples
+
+### 1. Initialization and Fetching Taste Data (History and Likes)
+Retrieve the logged-in user's viewing history, liked videos, "Watch Later" list, or custom playlists.
+
+```javascript
+import { scrapeTasteData } from './index.js';
+
+// When run in a browser extension, SAPISID cookies are read automatically
+const userFeeds = await scrapeTasteData(null, [
+    { url: "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtbcYJeD7QZ34kS_L8H-lV7J8xT6rU0k_" } // Optional custom playlist
+]);
+
+console.log("History:", userFeeds.historyEntries);
+console.log("Likes:", userFeeds.likesEntries);
+console.log("Watch Later:", userFeeds.wlEntries);
+console.log("Custom Playlists:", userFeeds.customPlaylistsData);
+```
+
+### 2. Fetching Video Comments
+Retrieve comments for a specific video with automatic pagination.
+
+```javascript
+import { fetchCommentsFromYouTube } from './index.js';
+
+const videoId = "dQw4w9WgXcQ";
+const maxComments = 100;
+
+const comments = await fetchCommentsFromYouTube(videoId, maxComments);
+comments.forEach(c => {
+    console.log(`[${c.author}] (${c.likeCount} likes): ${c.text}`);
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Fetching Subtitles (Transcripts)
+Download and parse video transcripts in the desired language with automatic fallbacks.
+
+```javascript
+import { fetchSubtitlesFromYouTube } from './index.js';
+
+const videoId = "dQw4w9WgXcQ";
+const transcript = await fetchSubtitlesFromYouTube(videoId, "en"); // Searches for English, falls back to automatic captions or first available track
+
+transcript.forEach(segment => {
+    console.log(`[${segment.start}s - ${segment.duration}s]: ${segment.text}`);
+});
+```
