Google Videos Light API Documentation

Parameter defines the query you want to search. You can use anything that you would use in a regular Google Videos search. e.g. inurl:, site:, intitle:. We also support advanced search query parameters such as as_dt and as_eq.

The default parameter desktop defines the search on a desktop device. The mobile parameter defines the search on a mobile device. The tablet parameter defines the search on a tablet device.

Parameter defines from where you want the search to originate. If several locations match the location requested, we'll pick the most popular one. Head to the Locations API if you need more precise control.

Parameter is the Google encoded location you want to use for the search. SearchApi automatically generated the uule parameter when you use the location parameter but we allow you to overwrite it directly. uule and location parameters can't be used together.

The default parameter google.com defines the Google domain of the search. Check the full list of supported Google google_domain domains.

The default parameter us defines the country of the search. Check the full list of supported Google gl countries.

The default parameter en defines the interface language of the search. Check the full list of supported Google hl languages.

The lr parameter restricts search results to documents written in a particular language or a set of languages. The accepted format for this parameter is lang_{2-letter country code}. For instance, to filter documents written in Japanese, the value should be set to lang_jp. To incorporate multiple languages, a value like lang_it|lang_de restricts the search to documents written in either Italian or German. Google identifies the document language based on the top-level domain (TLD) of the document's URL, any language meta tags present, or the language utilized within the document's body text. Check the full list of supported Google lr languages.

The cr parameter restricts search results to documents originating in a particular country. Google determines the country of a document by the top-level domain (TLD) of the document's URL or by Web server's IP address geographic location. Check the full list of supported Google cr countries.

This parameter specifies the number of results to display per page. Use in combination with the page parameter to implement pagination functionality.

This parameter indicates which page of results to return. By default, it is set to 1. Use in combination with the num parameter to implement pagination.

This parameter controls whether results from queries that have been auto-corrected for spelling errors are included. To exclude these auto-corrected results, set the value to 1. By default, the value is 0, meaning auto-corrected results are included.

This parameter controls whether the "Duplicate Content" and "Host Crowding" filters are enabled. Set the value to 1 to enable these filters, which is the default setting. To disable these filters, set the value to 0.

This parameter toggles the SafeSearch feature for the results. SafeSearch operates by filtering out adult content from your search results. Google's filters use proprietary technology to check keywords, phrases and URLs. While no filters are 100 percent accurate, SafeSearch will remove the overwhelming majority of adult content from your search results. Set the value to active to enable SafeSearch. To disable it, set the value to off. By default, SafeSearch is disabled.

This parameter restricts results to URLs based on encoded values. For instance, dur:s would return only results that are shorter than 4 min.

This parameter restricts results to URLs based on date. Supported values are: last_hour, last_day, last_week, last_month and last_year. Note: this parameter is not compatible with a custom tbs parameter.

This parameter restricts results to URLs based on video duration. Supported values are:

• short - short videos (0-4 min.).
• medium - medium videos (4-20 min.).
• long - long videos (20+ min.).

Note: this parameter is not compatible with a custom tbs parameter.

The api_key authenticates your requests. Use it as a query parameter (https://www.searchapi.io/api/v1/search?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY) or in the Authorization header (Bearer YOUR_API_KEY).

Set this parameter to true to disable all logging and persistent storage. No request parameters, HTML, or JSON responses are stored or logged. Suitable for high-compliance use cases. Debugging and support may be limited while enabled.
