How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of results and an array of items, each containing the video/channel/playlist URL, content type, search query, title, videoId, channelId, playlistId, and position in the results list.

Example use cases

Research trending competitor content

“Search YouTube for 'electric vehicles 2025' in the US, sort by popularity, and give me the top 30 videos so I can see what content is performing best in that space right now.”

Find recent Shorts for a campaign

“Find YouTube Shorts about 'home workout' uploaded in the last week, up to 100 results, for the US market — I need video IDs and titles to analyze for a social media campaign.”

Discover top channels in a niche

“Search YouTube for channels about 'personal finance' in English, sorted by relevance, and give me up to 50 channel results with their channel IDs.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable YouTube search results without building your own scraper — especially when you need localized results by country/language, content-type filtering (videos, Shorts, channels, playlists, movies), or duration/recency filters. It's pay-per-call with no charge for failed or empty runs, making it cost-efficient for exploratory searches. Prefer this over the YouTube Data API when you want to avoid API quota limits or need results that closely mirror what a user would see on YouTube.

Side effects

Empty result set if query matches nothing on YouTube — not charged
Network or scraping failure returns an error — not charged
Invalid enum value for type, sortBy, duration, or uploadDate returns a validation error
Missing required 'query' field results in a bad request error
maxResults set below minimum of 1 is rejected
Rate limits or YouTube anti-scraping measures may cause transient failures
