GET
/api/data/v1/youtube/search1credit base cost
Request parameters
Up to 1 creditSearch query. For stricter title matching, use YouTube's intitle: operator, for example intitle:"Foursquare Swarm". Quoted queries by themselves may still be broadened by YouTube when no fresh exact matches are available.
Upload date
Sort by
Type of content to search for
Duration of the video. Only applies to videos (not shorts).
2 letter country code of the country to put the proxy in.
Continuation token to get more videos. Get 'continuationToken' from previous response.
This will get you the like + comment count and the description. To get the full details of the video, use the /v1/youtube/video endpoint. *This will slow down the response slightly.*
Live requests use your prepaid balance. Cached responses cost zero where supported.
