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.

Since ANDROID is smaller, we want to pull as much from it as possible. Here is what we need to check:

StreamingData struct {
   AdaptiveFormats []struct {
      Bitrate         int64  // pass
      ContentLength   int64  // pass
      Height          int    // pass
      Itag            int    // pass
      MimeType        string // pass
      URL             string // pass
   }
}
VideoDetails struct {
   Author           string // pass
   ShortDescription string // pass
   Title            string // pass
   ViewCount        int    // pass
}
Microformat struct {
   PlayerMicroformatRenderer struct {
      AvailableCountries []string // fail
      PublishDate        string   // fail
   }
}
