The API keys are not used anymore by official clients in almost all cases
(still used by the Android app until it gets a configuration) for all requests
we made.
Clients and device OS versions have been bumped to their latest stable version
known.
Methods and fields related to API keys have been renamed or deleted if they're
no longer relevant.
Support of tags and videos, shorts, live, playlists and channels tabs has been
added for non-age restricted channels.
Age-restricted channels are now also supported and always returned the videos,
shorts and live tabs, accessible using system playlists. These tabs are the
only ones which can be accessed using YouTube's desktop website without being
logged-in.
The videos channel tab parameter has been updated to the one used by the
desktop website and when a channel extraction is fetched, this tab is returned
in the list of tabs as a cached one in the corresponding link handler.
Visitor data support per request has been added, as a valid visitor data is
required to fetch continuations with contents on the shorts tab. It is only
used in this case to enhance privacy.
A dedicated shorts UI elements (reelItemRenderers) extractor has been added,
YoutubeReelInfoItemExtractor. These elements do not provide the exact view
count, any uploader info (name, URL, avatar, verified status) and the upload
date.
All service's LinkHandlers are now using the singleton pattern and some code
has been also improved on the files changed.
