YouTube Video Sponsors API
Scrape YouTube Video Sponsors data with one API call. Checks a YouTube video for the paid-promotion disclosure and infers likely sponsors/promoted brands from the public description, description links, promo-code text, and transcript. Experimental upstream — sponsor attribution is inferred, with per-sponsor confidence and evidence.
