trying to add format in the extra parameters whitelist #47

I've added 'format' : str, in the ALLOWED_EXTRA_PARAMS dict. However this url still returns the full json array with all the formats: http://localhost/api/info?url=youtube.com/watch?v=UYCilZ8yMmU&format=m4a

I think the formats field is always the same, but the url and ext fields in the main dict will contain the info for the m4a format.

i see, so it is not possible to filter the entries in the format field via the API, correct?

No youtube-dl itself always return the same formats field and the other fields at the main dictionary contain the info of the requested format. If you are only interested in one format, you shouldn't use the formats field.
