YouTube Videos Trending API
Scrape YouTube Videos Trending data with one API call. Returns the most popular (trending) YouTube videos for a region and category — title, thumbnail, duration, view/like/comment counts, channel, and publish time — plus a `cursor` when more results are available. Filter by `region` (ISO country) and `category` (YouTube category id); forward `cursor` for subsequent pages.
