Scrapping youtube - python 2.7.x - un4get - 2016-05-03

Hi guys,

I wish to create an addon that everytime you lunch it it will search for a specific string on youtube (that is in order to pull all of the new videos for that string).
I saw I can use the youtube python official API but I have no idea how to install it on KODI.
Also using my google developer key limits me to an X amount of searches, so if I will publish this addon with my developer key it will exceeding the search quota within 10 minutes.

How can I use the youtube API in python to search for a string and extract the youtube video ID, description and jpg?

Regards,
un4get.
