Get Video Details From The YouTube API Using Python

This is the example from:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list?hl=fr&apix_params=%7B%22part%22%3A%5B%22snippet%22%5D%2C%22id%22%3A%5B%22Iy8R5TZNV1A%22%5D%7D&apix=true

---

NOTE: I'm not sure if it's completely since it doesn't show how to use the token. I've got another page on the site that shows how to do that.

TODO: Update this to make sure it's a complete, stand alone sample

TODO: Link to other pages if necessary

TODO: Figure out more about what OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT is doing in here since I didn't need it for my other scripts.
