Common to every endpoint

Any route can answer these: a missing or wrong key, no credits left, the platform not answering, or a failure on our side. None of them costs credits.

04Notes

About 27 playlists per page, in `playlists`. The answer always has six lists (`videos`, `channels`, `playlists`, `shorts`, `shelves`, `lives`) plus `continuationToken`; lists that do not apply are empty. Pass `continuationToken` back for the next page; it is null on the last page. An unknown channel answers 404; a channel that has nothing on this tab returns the empty lists for 0 credits. A token YouTube refuses is a 400.
