Youtube Data API v3 pageToken for arbitrary page

Question

Another question on SO revealed that pageTokens are identical for different searches, provided that the page number and maxResults settings are the same.

Version 2

Answer 1

Using ^ Quihico's files as a reference point, I had a little fun writing an enhancement to the previous poster's pageToken generator, in JS. If my assumption is correct about how the 4000s place encoding varies past N >= 98304, it should be able to construct a pageToken for a page starting with Nth item, provided N in [0, 4194304). It's only tested up to N = 99999, so YMMV.
