Charges and authorization are determined by the gateway.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| type | No | Type of content to search for | |
| query | Yes | Search 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. | |
| region | No | 2 letter country code of the country to put the proxy in. | |
| sortBy | No | Sort by | |
| duration | No | Duration of the video. Only applies to videos (not shorts). | |
| uploadDate | No | Upload date | |
| 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.* | |
| continuationToken | No | Continuation token to get more videos. Get 'continuationToken' from previous response. |
