from youtube_search import YoutubeSearch
results = YoutubeSearch('youtube', max_results=10).to_json()
print(results)

Returns an empty object:

{"videos": []}

I have a working internet connection and no errors are presented. Any idea why?

I'm getting this error if I search Navidad (Christmas in Spanish), but not if I search Christmas and neither with youtube. So I'm not sure what's going on

For me changing encoded_search = urllib.parse.quote(self.search_terms) to encoded_search = urllib.parse.quote_plus(self.search_terms) did the job.

Probably should be quote_plus anyway, I've made the change and it's still working so I'll roll that into the package soon. Thanks for looking into it!
