#'
#' @param token
#' Your token as returned by \code{\link{youOAuth}}.
#' @param part
#' The part parameter specifies a comma-separated list of one or more activity
#' resource properties that the API response will include. The default value
#' is \code{snippet}, see \code{\link{findParts}} for all valid values.
#' @param n
#' Number of results to fecth. The default value is \code{50}.
#' @param max.results
#' Specifies the maximum number of results that should be returned
#' by each API call. Acceptable values are \code{0} to \code{50}, inclusive.
#' The default value is \code{50}.
#' @param chart
#' The chart parameter identifies the chart that you want to retrieve. Only
#' valid value is \code{mostPopular} or \code{NULL}.
#' @param id
#' Specifies a comma-separated list of the YouTube video ID(s) for the
#' resource(s) that are being retrieved. In a video resource, the id property
#' specifies the video's ID.
#' @param on.behalf.of.content.owner
#' This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This
#' parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners.
#' Indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube
#' CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the
#' parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners
#' that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content
#' owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel
#' data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each
#' individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be
#' linked to the specified YouTube content owner.
#' @param video.category.id
#' Identifies the video category for which the chart should be retrieved.
#' This parameter can only be used in conjunction with the chart parameter.
#' By default, charts are not restricted to a particular category. The default
#' value is 0.
#' @param region.code
#' Instructs the API to select a video chart available in the specified region.
#' This parameter can only be used in conjunction with the chart parameter.
#' The parameter value is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
#' @param my.rating
#' This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request.
#' Set this parameter's value to \code{like} or \code{dislike} to instruct the
#' API to only return videos liked or disliked by the authenticated user.
#' @param verbose
#' If \code{TRUE} prints infromational messages in the console.
#' The default value is \code{FALSE}.
#' @param hl
#' Specifies the language that will be used for text values in the API
#' response. The default value (from YouTube) is \code{NULL}. See
#' \code{\link{getLanguages}}. If localized resource details are available
#' in that language, the resource's \code{snippet} (\code{part = "snippet"}).
#'
#' @details Must specify one (and only one) of \code{chart}, \code{id} or
#' \code{my.rating}
