JSONDecodeError Expecting value: line 2 column 5 (char 5)

I got Jsonerror while fetching data from the youtube. JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 2 column 5 (char 5). My expected out is json. Iam able to fetch from different url url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/pandas-dev/pandas/issues'.

My Code is below

import requests
youtuburl ='https://www.youtube.com/feed/trending'
response_youtuburl = requests.get(youtuburl)
response_youtuburl
#<Response [200]>

print(type(response_youtuburl))
#<class 'requests.models.Response'>

data_youtuburl = response_youtuburl.json()
print(type(data_youtuburl))

Error is below
