Bug description

Since last Friday, August 29th 2025, suddenly my code stopped working. I use ytmusicapi version 1.11.0.
I get the error:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/mixins/search.py", line 182, in search
response = self._send_request(endpoint, body)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ytmusicapi/ytmusic.py", line 241, in _send_request
raise YTMusicServerError(message + error)
ytmusicapi.exceptions.YTMusicServerError: Server returned HTTP 400: Bad Request.
Request contains an invalid argument.

To Reproduce

Minimal example:

YT_CLIENT = \
    YTMusic("/usr/src/app/oauth.json", 
            oauth_credentials=OAuthCredentials(
                client_id=environ["GOOGLE_YOUTUBE_API_CLIENT_ID"],
                client_secret=environ["GOOGLE_YOUTUBE_API_CLIENT_SECRET"]
            )
    )

search_results = YT_CLIENT.search('Oasis Wonderwall')

Is it possible that YouTube changed something that causes ytmusicapi to break?

Thanks for any help!
