This talks to the Data API rather than scraping pages, so it needs a YouTube API key and inherits the daily quota that comes with it. What separates it from a plain search wrapper is the filter set on videos_searchVideos and channels_searchChannels: results narrow by the subscriber band of the channel behind a video, by when that channel last uploaded, and by a uniqueChannels flag so one prolific account cannot fill the page. channels_findCreators works backwards from video mentions to the creator channels themselves, which is the shape a sponsorship or outreach search actually has. transcripts_getTranscript pulls captions in a chosen language, and the playlist tools read both a playlist's metadata and the videos inside it.
