Search

So, we are looking for this:

/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk

First result:

<script nonce="TCh7gubawSzSBgq1Zg3rSA">var ytInitialData = {"responseContext"...
...ead creep cover","radiohead fake plastic trees","radiohead kid a"]};</script>

Everything after var ytInitialData = and before ; is valid JSON. The search results are here:

contents	
   twoColumnSearchResultsRenderer	
      primaryContents	
         sectionListRenderer	
            contents	
               0	
                  itemSectionRenderer	
                     contents

careful, first result might be an advertisement.
