I'm always frustrated when i add the url in query
Describe the solution you'd like
Add URL support for query, so someone can search the video from url.
It sounds like you should look into ytdl-core. You can use validateURL to check if the query is a valid youtube URL then fetch the video information. If it is not, simply pass the query to scrape-youtube.
This will allow you to "search the video from url"
ytdl.validateURL(url)
Returns true if able to parse out a valid video ID.
ytdl.getInfo(url, [options])
Gets metainfo from a video. Includes additional formats, and ready to download deciphered URL. This is what the ytdl() function uses internally.
why you don;t make that feature in scrape-youtube?
