# YouTube PoToken Generator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This program outputs the mysterious pair `{ visitorData, poToken }`, with the help of `js-dom`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How it works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only one network request is made to get a fresh copy of `visitorData`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then `poToken` is generated with pre-downloaded scripts from YouTube and some magic provided in `lib/inject.js`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No real browser is required to install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
yarn add youtube-po-token-generator
|
||
|
|
# Or
|
||
|
|
npm install youtube-po-token-generator
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See `examples` for simple usages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
const { generate } = require('youtube-po-token-generator')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
generate().then(console.log, console.error)
|
||
|
|
// => { visitorData: '...', poToken: '...' }
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Require `lib/task` directly if you have already prepared your `visitorData`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
const { createTask } = require('youtube-po-token-generator/lib/task')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const visitorData = '...'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
createTask(visitorData).then(task => task.start).then(console.log, console.error)
|
||
|
|
// => { poToken: '...' }
|
||
|
|
```

|
Debugging the source code from YouTube was a pain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Pausing at key parts of the `poToken` generation may lead to misleading branches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Modification on the injected code from `botguardData.program` may lead to invalid tokens.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improper userAgent would lead to valid or invalid poToken being generated randomly, like a lottery.
