That's not at all related to this library. Please read the stacktrace properly before making an issue. at new YouTube (C:\Users\krmme\Desktop\muzuklu pee7\node_modules\simple-youtube-api\src\index.js:26:44)

As Synkky was saying, that's not a problem with ytdl-core, but rather with simple-youtube-api. To fix the error, make sure you're passing that library a valid API key. Alternately, change your code to use ytpl or ytsr, some API-key-less libraries for basic functions like searches or playlist parsing

This is not an issue with ytdl-core, so don't expect to receive further support for it in this issue. If you'd like general JS support, consider joining our chat server.
