yt-dlp can help you out.

yt-dlp --print-json ytsearch:'foo'

Then you could redirect the output of the command to a file, it would be the best option, you could also use the lib instead of the command line.

On latest update:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=SEARCHPARAMATER&maxResults=25&key=key

By using this URL you will be able to give the search parameter and get the desired JSON.

The YouTube JSON API Page can help you out.

Some research on the API Page points out that http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=foo&alt=json is all you need...

As their API docs clearly state, just add ?alt=json:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=foo&alt=json
