Fetch the title, description, channel, views, likes, comment count, duration and publish date of one YouTube video from its watch or share link. Comments and the transcript come from their own actions, comments and transcript.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to youtube and action set to video. Price $0.56 per 1,000 requests ($0.000556 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra YouTube Video details endpoint (youtube/video).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to youtube and action to video, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - url: The target URL required by YouTube actions. Use full channel URLs for profile and user_posts, or specific watch?v= and share links for video, comments, and transcript.
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, title, text, author_name, author_username, author_id, author_url, like_count, comment_count, view_count, duration; 24 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=youtube.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "youtube",
  "action": "video",
  "params": {
    "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
  }
}
- Price: $0.56 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.
