  Attributes are set dynamically via properties. Properties correspond to

  Attributes:
    vq: The vq parameter, which is only supported for video feeds, specifies a
        search query term. Refer to API documentation for further details.
    orderby: The orderby parameter, which is only supported for video feeds,
        specifies the value that will be used to sort videos in the search
        result set. Valid values for this parameter are relevance, published,
        viewCount and rating.
    time: The time parameter, which is only available for the top_rated,
        top_favorites, most_viewed, most_discussed, most_linked and
        most_responded standard feeds, restricts the search to videos uploaded
        within the specified time. Valid values for this parameter are today
        (1 day), this_week (7 days), this_month (1 month) and all_time.
        The default value for this parameter is all_time.
    format: The format parameter specifies that videos must be available in a
        particular video format. Refer to the API documentation for details.
    racy: The racy parameter allows a search result set to include restricted
        content as well as standard content. Valid values for this parameter
        are include and exclude. By default, restricted content is excluded.
    lr: The lr parameter restricts the search to videos that have a title,
        description or keywords in a specific language. Valid values for the lr
        parameter are ISO 639-1 two-letter language codes.
    restriction: The restriction parameter identifies the IP address that
        should be used to filter videos that can only be played in specific
        countries.
    location: A string of geo coordinates. Note that this is not used when the
        search is performed but rather to filter the returned videos for ones
