How to insert and call new data in wordpress website database through a plugin

The right place to store the data depends on how you will be using the data. From the context, it sounds like metadata might be the right place. There is usermeta if the data relates to one of your site users, or postmeta if the data relates to a specific post/page/CPT.

Options are best reserved for data that affects the site as a whole. So, if you were going to use the data to populate a video that appears sitewide, options would be an appropriate place to store the data. But the options table can tend to get bloated and impact site performance, so it’s especially inappropriate if the data doesn’t relate to the site as a whole, or a large part of the site.
