YouTube Playlist Items API
Scrape YouTube Playlist Items data with one API call. Returns the videos in a YouTube playlist in order — video id, title, thumbnail, owning channel, and publish time — plus a `cursor` when more results are available. Pass `playlist_id` for the first page; forward `cursor` for subsequent pages.
