YouTube operational API [...] is coded in PHP to ease retrieving public YouTube data, possibly not retrievable with YouTube Data API v3.

Webscrap any website has the theoretical goal to webscrap any website, so the generalization of YouTube operational API to all websites somehow. It is coded in Python and does not limit itself to public data on YouTube for instance but also private ones, such as creating community posts for instance. So the idea is to proceed to adjustments on YouTube operational API to keep it working but if it requires a new feature or significant work (like requiring Protobuf), then I add this feature to Webscrap any website instead.

Currently I do not plan to reimplement YouTube operational API features in Webscrap any website, same comment for the other way around.

Note that I prototyped in Python almost all YouTube operational API features anyway, so that's kind of shortcut for me to only clean my Python prototype instead of translating it to PHP.
