How to assign thislink_data to id_list_data and make it return more than 50 results?

id_list_data = 

results = youtube.videos().list(id = id_list_data, part ='snippet').execute()
for result in results.get('items', []):
        print(result ['id'])
        print(result ['snippet']['channelTitle'])
        print(result ['snippet']['title'])
        print(result ['snippet']['description'])

As YouTube Data API v3 Videos: list endpoint has a maxResults of 50, you have to call youtube.videos().list(...) with at most 50 ids.

maxResults = 50

for i in range(ceil(len(link_data.head) / maxResults)):
    id_list_data = link_data.head[i * maxResults:(i + 1) * maxResults]
    results = youtube.videos().list(id = id_list_data, part ='snippet').execute()
    for result in results.get('items', []):
            print(result ['id'])
            print(result ['snippet']['channelTitle'])
            print(result ['snippet']['title'])
            print(result ['snippet']['description'])
