Review comment (suggestion):
We can use the `uuid` module from stdlib.
```suggestion
        query = {**query, 'X-UA': self._X_UA.format(uuid=uuid.uuid4())}
        return self._download_json(url, video_id, query=query, **kwargs)['data']
```
I would also adjust this to directly return the `data` dict as that is seemingly required for all api requests.
