  broadcast          A liveBroadcast resource represents an event that will be streamed, via live video, on YouTube.
  captions           A caption resource represents a YouTube caption track. A caption track is associated with exactly one YouTube video.
  channels           A channel resource contains information about a YouTube channel.
  chat               A liveChatMessage resource represents a chat message in a YouTube live chat. The resource can contain details about several types of messages, including a newly posted text message or fan funding event.
  playlists          A playlist resource represents a YouTube playlist. A playlist is a collection of videos that can be viewed sequentially and shared with other users. By default, playlists are publicly visible to other users, but playlists can be public or private.
  search             A search result contains information about a YouTube video, channel, or playlist that matches the search parameters specified in an API request. While a search result points to a uniquely identifiable resource, like a video, it does not have its own persistent data.
  stream             A liveStream resource contains information about the video stream that you are transmitting to YouTube. The stream provides the content that will be broadcast to YouTube users. Once created, a liveStream resource can be bound to one or more liveBroadcast resources.
  subscriptions      A subscription resource contains information about a YouTube user subscription. A subscription notifies a user when new videos are added to a channel or when another user takes one of several actions on YouTube, such as uploading a video, rating a video, or commenting on a video.
  thumbnails         A thumbnail resource identifies different thumbnail image sizes associated with a resource.
  version            Display the package name and version.
  video-categories   A videoCategory resource identifies a category that has been or could be associated with uploaded videos.
  videos             A video resource represents a YouTube video.
  watermarks         A watermark resource identifies an image that displays during playbacks of a specified channel's videos.
