Perfect for academic research. The community and trends endpoints give us data we couldn't get anywhere else. Documentation could use more examples, but support is responsive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Videos API.

What data can I retrieve with the Google Video Search Scraping API?

Search Google Videos returns the original query, result country, result language, and an array of video results. Each result can include its position, title, video link, displayed link, thumbnail URL, duration, source, and displayed date.

Can I filter Google video results by publication time?

Yes. Use the tbs parameter to apply the documented time filters. Examples include qdr:d for results from the past day, qdr:w for the past week, and qdr:m for the past month. The result still depends on what Google classifies and displays for the selected period.

How does pagination work in the Google Videos API?

Use the zero-based page parameter to request later results. page=0 requests the first page, page=1 requests the second page, and so on. Each page contains up to 10 video results. Keep the same query, country, language, time filter, and SafeSearch setting when requesting additional pages.

What is the difference between link, displayed_link, and source?

The link field contains the returned destination URL for the video result. The displayed_link field contains the URL or domain shown in the Google result, while source contains the displayed publisher or source name. These values can differ depending on how Google presents the result.

Does Google video search return only YouTube videos?

No. Google can surface video results from YouTube and other websites across the open web. The ScrapeBadger response returns the result URL, displayed link, and source that Google shows. It does not limit the endpoint to one video platform.

How much does the Google Video Search Scraping API cost?

Search Google Videos currently costs 7 credits per successful request. Each request can return up to 10 video results, and there is no additional charge for each title, source, link, thumbnail, duration, or date returned. Failed requests cost 0 credits.

Can I use this API to search Google Shorts results?

The Google Videos endpoint searches Google's general video results and does not provide a Shorts-only filter. Use ScrapeBadger's dedicated Google Shorts Scraper API when you specifically need short-form video results from Google's Shorts search experience.
