HTTP Request : Fetching data from YouTube API v3

Watch out for

YouTube API quotas reset daily so you must implement caching or limit requests to avoid hitting the 10,000 unit cap.
Pagination can cause infinite loops if the code does not correctly check for the presence of nextPageToken in every response.
Google Sheets append actions may fail silently if column headers do not match the data types expected by the sheet template.
Thumbnail URLs expire or change so you should store the direct image link rather than relying on dynamic embed parameters.
