How to get the addresses of videos in the order they were added?
Addresses cannot be repeated, but some system in the address is not visible at first glance.
Is it some kind of hash? How, for example, to select the addresses of videos uploaded in a certain period of time, to get their metadata (views, likes, comments)?
Perhaps this is a hash from the time they were added?
Is there a database of all YouTube videos, with metadata, or can all this be obtained from YouTube itself?
