I'm using youtube-search 1.1.4 to find videos. The problem is that i get the results titles encoded with & or ' instead of just & and ' and more.

example of one result i got from the example code below (again, added spaces between characters intentionally):
title: "Post Malone - "Wow." (Official Music Video)"

Tried solving this by decodeURI ,decodeURIComponent or unescape which didn't help.
Used a direct call for youtube api and got the same results.
What am i missing?

var youtubeSearch = require("youtube-search")

var opts = 
 maxResults : 15,
 key : 'MY_API_KEY',
 part : 'snippet',
 type : 'video',
;

youtubeSearch('post malone', opts, function(err, results) 
 if(err) return console.log(err);

 console.dir(results);
);

  @ramidulman That is not the same issue. JSON strings must escape the double quote character using a backslash if the string itself contains this character. eg """ is not valid while """ is valid. The linked issue has nothing to do with HTML encoding.

You can use the the DOM Parser

var parser = new DOMParser;

let finalResult = parser.parseFromString(results, "text/html")
console.log(finalResult.body.innerHtml); // will turn & to &

After finding a related ticket on google's issue tracker:
issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/128673539 and got a response from google that this is the expected behaviour and they won't fix it, i just used user 3limin4t0r suggestion and decoded the return value title using he.js library, it's the idle way to solve this but i had no intention to wait for google to come around from their decision...

so, my solution goes like that:

var youtubeSearch = require("youtube-search")
let he = require('he');

var opts = 
 maxResults : 15,
 key : 'MY_API_KEY',
 part : 'snippet',
 type : 'video',
;

youtubeSearch('post malone', opts, function(err, results) 
 if(err) return console.log(err);
 results = results.map(item => 
 item.snippet.title = he.decode(item.snippet.title);
 return item;
 );
 console.dir(results);
);

After finding a related ticket on google's issue tracker:
issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/128673539 and got a response from google that this is the expected behaviour and they won't fix it, i just used user 3limin4t0r suggestion and decoded the return value title using he.js library, it's the idle way to solve this but i had no intention to wait for google to come around from their decision...

so, my solution goes like that:

var youtubeSearch = require("youtube-search")
let he = require('he');

var opts = 
 maxResults : 15,
 key : 'MY_API_KEY',
 part : 'snippet',
 type : 'video',
;

youtubeSearch('post malone', opts, function(err, results) 
 if(err) return console.log(err);
 results = results.map(item => 
 item.snippet.title = he.decode(item.snippet.title);
 return item;
 );
 console.dir(results);
