YouTube Search Advanced API
Scrape YouTube Search Advanced data with one API call. Searches YouTube videos with the full filter set — sort `order`, `duration`, live/upcoming `event_type`, Creative-Commons `license`, `category`, `region`, `language`, and `published_after`/`published_before` date windows — returning video id, title, thumbnail, channel, and publish time, plus a `cursor` for the next page. Results are always videos.
