Video Contents
Videos are fetched without a login. While this fetches the highest quality version of the video, this is not the case for when the video is 1080p or greater. This will usually fetch the 720p version.
There's 1 additional field in the metadata called hasPremiumStreams, which will be true if there is a higher quality available for premium users.
Json Metadata
Metadata also includes a slice of the very popularist and well known danmaku (Comment Bullet hell, See the related article on nico dictionary).
The full comment stream will need a login which can be slow and not ideal when the video doesn't have a lot of comments.
