                                        Youtube needs an open Rest API. Here are some reasons:
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                    
                                
                                
                                
                            
                                
                                    
                                        
                                        1. It makes my life easier, as I don't need to write a billion lines of code, and not go thought the ***paid service*** known as google cloud console, to get an api key.
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                    
                                
                                
                                
                            
                                
                                    
                                        
                                        2. It means that you only need to use `fetch()` on it.
                                        
                                        
                                        
                                    
                                
                                
                                
                            
                                
                                    
                                        
                                        3. We don't need the most in depth api.
