API

youtubeSuggest(query: string, opts?: { locale?: string }): Promise<string[]>

Do a network request for suggestions, returning the suggested completion strings as an array.

Optionally specify an ISO639-1 language code to get completions intended for that locale:

youtubeSuggest('pet', { locale: 'en' }) // returns people named "peter", pet video titles, etc
youtubeSuggest('pet', { locale: 'fr' }) // returns various small things

In Node.js it uses node-fetch. In the browser it uses JSONP.
