No overload matches this call with the Youtube API (Typescript).

I am getting the following error in a Typescript project while trying to pass a youtube video ID to the list method of youtube_v3.Youtube. Here is the full error:

No overload matches this call.
  Overload 2 of 6, '(callback: BodyResponseCallback<Schema$VideoListResponse>): void', gave the following error.
    Argument of type '{ id: string; part: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'BodyResponseCallback<Schema$VideoListResponse>'.
      Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'id' does not exist in type 'BodyResponseCallback<Schema$VideoListResponse>'.ts(2769)
(parameter) videoID: string
No quick fixes available

Here is the part of the code that gives the error:

...
const oauth2Client = new google.auth.OAuth2({ clientId, clientSecret })
oauth2Client.setCredentials({ refresh_token })

const yt = google.youtube({ auth: oauth2Client, version: 'v3' })
const response = await yt.videos.list({
  id: videoID, // the error apears here when I pass the ID value
  part: 'statistics,snippet',
})

Environment details

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64
• Node.js version: v16.7.0
• npm version: v7.20.3

Thanks for the example @rocktimsaikia, I’m not sure when we’ll be able to prioritize this work. But, the reproduction is useful and lets us dig into things.

Could you cast to any for the time being, assuming the method is working?

@timotius02 @rocktimsaikia reading the type definitions, it looks like both parts and id are an array of strings:

async function main (): Promise<void> {
  const yt = google.youtube({ auth: oauth2Client, version: 'v3' })
  const response = await yt.videos.list({
    id: [videoId], // the error apears here when I pass the ID value
    part: ['statistics', 'snippet']
  })
}

☝️ this compiles, let me know if there are any issues 👍
