Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- querystring
lofi hip hop
The video search query.
- autocorrectboolean
Toggle Google spelling autocorrect (default true). Set false to search the exact query without correction.
- glstring
us
Two-letter country code for result localization (e.g. us, gb, de).
- hlstring
en
Two-letter interface and results language code (e.g. en, es, de).
- locationstring
Fine-grained location for result localization, given as a canonical Google location string (e.g. 'New York, United States', 'London, United Kingdom'). More specific than the country-level gl.
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `source`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a record that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
- timeframeenum
Restrict results to a recent time window: 1h, 1d, 7d, 1y, or all. Default all (no time restriction).
Response
JSON, one example value per field.
Result payload, or null when nothing was found.
- querystring
lofi hip hop
The query that was searched.
Video result records. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- imagestring
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jfKfPfyJRdk/hqdefault.jpg
Thumbnail image URL for the video.
- linkstring
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfKfPfyJRdk
URL to the video. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- positioninteger
1
1-based rank in the result list.
- snippetstring
24/7 livestream of chill lofi hip hop beats, perfect for studying, working, or relaxing.
Short description snippet.
- sourcestringcan require
YouTube
Host platform (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo).
- titlestring
lofi hip hop radio - beats to relax/study to
Video title. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.
- foundboolean
true
True when at least one video result was returned.
- reason"not_found"
Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.
