When i was bored. i decided to look inside youtube looking for ad url. until i clicked on sources>watch?v=[Video ID], searched for htt,p and saw boring stuff. until i saw a API key. here's the json

"LIVE_CHAT_BASE_TANGO_CONFIG": { "apiKey": "AIzaSyDZNkyC-AtROwMBpLfevIvqYk-Gfi8ZOeo", "channelUri": "https://client-channel.google.com/client-channel/client", "clientName": "yt-live-comments", "requiresAuthToken": true, "senderUri": "https://clients4.google.com/invalidation/lcs/client", "useNewTango": true },
