YouTube search results

crawl4ai.youtube.search.videos

The videos YouTube finds for a query: title, link, video id, channel, views, when it was published (as YouTube says it, "3 years ago"), length and a short description. `limit` caps the rows (at most 20). A run takes about a second: YouTube's own search answer, plus one more call when it holds fewer videos than `limit`. Columns: title, url, video_id, channel, views, published, length, description.
