Channel Lives Data API
Scrape YouTube Channel Lives data with one API call. Fetches live streams and past streams from a YouTube channel's Live tab — title, URL, thumbnail, view count, publish time, duration — plus a `continuationToken` when more results are available. Pass `handle` or `channelId` for the first page; forward `continuationToken` for subsequent pages.
