Preflight Checklist

I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Currently when somebody send me an URL like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xneiaE_SCg8&list=PLTVVimTiUJwUbIqmTHncJvWRidgjjn1Ps I'm able to parse a v=.... parameter for a videoId value and call the POST /api/v1/queue endpoint to add the track into the queue.

But there is no possibility to add whole playlist.

Proposed Solution

It will be so nice to have a possibility to add optional parameter playlistId that will took all the tracks from the playlist, found the position of the videoId and place it and all the following tracks into the queue

Alternatives Considered

Currently I don't have any way, how to do that automatically via API.

Additional Information

Thanks much for your great work

You could use the library we are using, youtube.js to do everything you suggested, and then post each video to the API.
Innertube.music.getPlaylist is what you are looking for.

(I am just suggesting an alternative, since you didn't seem to have one)

[`Innertube.music.getPlaylist`](https://ytjs.dev/api/namespaces/Clients/classes/Music.html#getplaylist) is what you are looking for.

@ArjixWasTaken Thanks much for your fast reply.

In this case, I'm not a javascript developer that have access to the youtube.js library.

I have the YoutubeMusic Desktop application running on the server and sending the instructions via API from the Firebot application based on the commands from the Twitch chat.
