YouTube Playlist Videos API
Paginated playlist contents — cursor/nextCursor/hasMore, same row shape as channel-videos.
Paste a YouTube playlist URL and get one page of videos as clean JSON (same enriched row shape as channel-videos / channel-shorts): id, url, title, publishedAt (ISO from reel_item_watch), publishedTimeText, viewCount, durationSeconds/durationFormatted, genre, badges, thumbnailUrl, channel{}. Envelope: id, totalVideos, totalReturned, nextCursor, hasMore. Pass nextCursor for the next page until hasMore is false. Optional fast=true uses YouTube RSS (no cursor; totalVideos is null because the feed carries no playlist size). Flat 2 credits per page on the native path. For title/channel/thumbnail without videos, use Playlist (1 credit).

Pagination cursor. Leave empty for the first page; then pass the nextCursor value returned in the previous response.
Set true to use YouTube RSS for faster results with less detailed metadata. Leave false when viewCount/duration quality matters.
Set true to serve from the 24h response cache (0 credits on hit). Default false — always fetch fresh.
