I get ReferenceError: YouTube is not defined (line 2, file "Code")

@wisdomtooth have you enabled YouTube Data API like I mentioned in first comment?

Used it in my Fraidycat. Had to execute once in Google Apps Scripts to enable Youtube authorization. Thanks a lot. Any idea of similar tools for LinkedIn thread ?

I'm sorry but I have no idea about any @adcousin ;/
Anyway - It's cool that it was helpful ;D

Awesome! Thank you so much. What an useful script!
Can you tell me how to incorporate a YouTube operator into the query? I would like to retrieve only videos longer than 20 minutes. I can´t get it running by adding ", long" to the query though.

EDIT:
I also tried adding the parameter videoDuration: 'long' to the results string (based on https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list). However, it seems to have zero effect.
