This PR removes the axios dependency and replaces it with native Node.js fetch, reducing the package size and eliminating external dependencies for HTTP requests.

Changes Made

  • Removed axios import from src/search.js
  • Replaced HTTP request implementation:
    • axios.get(YOUTUBE_API_URL, { params })fetch(url) with manual URL construction
    • Used native URL and URLSearchParams APIs for clean parameter handling
    • Replaced response.data with await response.json()
  • Updated dependencies: Removed axios from package.json and package-lock.json

Benefits

  • Reduced bundle size: Eliminates 9 axios-related packages (111 lines removed from package-lock.json)
  • No external dependencies: Uses built-in Node.js capabilities
  • Same functionality: Maintains exact same API behavior and error handling
  • Modern approach: Leverages native fetch available since Node.js 18.0.0

Verification

All existing tests continue to pass, ensuring no breaking changes to the public interface. The CLI and server functionality remain unchanged.

Before:

import axios from 'axios'
const response = await axios.get(YOUTUBE_API_URL, { params })
return response.data.items.map(item => { ... })

After:

const url = new URL(YOUTUBE_API_URL)
Object.keys(params).forEach(key => url.searchParams.append(key, params[key]))
const response = await fetch(url)
const data = await response.json()
return data.items.map(item => { ... })

This change aligns with modern Node.js best practices and reduces the project's dependency footprint while maintaining full compatibility.
