Warning simplexml_load_file parser error from youtube

Question

I get this error (occasionally) when I'm searching videos in youtube script, other times it just works, but then the problem appears again. Can someone help me to fix this issue?

Error Message:

Youtube is restricting your automated requests, that's why "occasionally" the script doesn't work... use youtube api instead.
