Rumble
Rumble videos, channels, comments, transcripts, and keyword search through one unified API
Rumble videos and shorts, channel uploads, full comment sections, spoken-word transcripts, and keyword search, all in the canonical Post and Comment shapes you get from YouTube and TikTok. Four of the five endpoints cost 1 credit; the transcript is premium at 10.
Base URL: /v1/rumble/...
video/comments returns the whole top-level comment section in one response.
There is no cursor and nothing to page, and replies are not expanded, so a
thread's nesting is not available. What you get is every root comment.
Quickstart
1. Find videos by keyword
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/rumble/search?query=space%20launch" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"2. Or walk one channel's uploads
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/rumble/channel/videos?handle=Bongino" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"3. Read computed fields
When an endpoint supports a computed field and the required source inputs are present, the unified response includes that optional field. Depending on the endpoint, optional fields can include engagement_rate, language, content_category, and estimated_reach. See Computed fields for formulas, clamping rules, and null semantics.
Discovery
| Endpoint | Credits | What it returns | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
GET /v1/rumble/search | 1 | Videos and shorts across all of Rumble: title, URL, thumbnail, channel, views | query, cursor |
GET /v1/rumble/channel/videos | 1 | One channel's own details plus its videos and shorts, cursor-paginated | handle or url, cursor |
channel/videos needs one of the two identifiers. Sending neither is a 400 before billing.
Video
| Endpoint | Credits | What it returns | Key parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
GET /v1/rumble/video | 1 | Title, description, thumbnail, channel, publish date, views, likes, dislikes, captions flag | url |
GET /v1/rumble/video/comments | 1 | Every top-level comment, with author, timestamp, like and dislike counts, reply count | url |
GET /v1/rumble/video/transcript | 10 | The spoken text of a video | url |
Read one video in full from its URL, then take the whole comment section in a second call.
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/rumble/video?url=https://rumble.com/v79xhhm-discovery-example.html" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/rumble/video/comments?url=https://rumble.com/v792vns-example.html" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"video/transcript reads Rumble's published captions. When a video has none, the transcript comes back empty and the call is not charged, so it is safe to attempt speculatively across a channel rather than pre-filtering. video reports whether captions exist if you would rather know before you ask.

Platform notes
Comments arrive complete, but flat. One response holds the entire top-level section, and replies are not expanded, so nesting is not available on this platform.
Transcripts depend on published captions, and cost nothing when there are none.
Pagination is not uniform. search and channel/videos page with the universal cursor; the three single-video endpoints do not paginate at all.
Identifiers split three ways. channel/videos takes handle or url; video, video/comments, and video/transcript all take the video url; search takes a query.
Rumble feeds other surfaces too. It is one of the sources behind /v1/search/everywhere and a supported platform for /v1/prism/video-intel, which returns detail, stats, comments, and transcript for one video URL in a single call.
