The Search endpoint gives you structured, AI-enriched YouTube data in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
GET /v1/v1/youtube/search?query=javascript tutorialParameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | Search keyword or phrase to find YouTube videos |
| uploadDate | No | Upload date (today | this_week | this_month | this_year) |
| sortBy | No | Sort by (relevance | popular) |
| filter | No | Filter by these options. Note this doesn't work when you use either 'uploadDate' or 'sortBy'. It basically only works when you have a query. (shorts) |
| region | No | 2 letter country code of the country to put the proxy in. |
| continuationToken | No | Continuation token to get more videos. Get 'continuationToken' from previous response. |
| includeExtras | No | 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.* |
