Search videos from your app

Run a search query and use the results in a research tool or a content dashboard.

GET /api/v1/social/youtube/search

Use the right identifier

Use a video ID for stats, comments, tags and download, a channel ID or handle for channel operations, and a query for search.
2
Call the endpoint

For example GET /api/v1/social/youtube/search with a query.
3
Keep pagination data

Reuse the pagination information returned by channel and search results where provided.
