Search YouTube videos or channels

Search YouTube for videos or channels.

  • type=video (default): Returns video results with titles, thumbnails, view counts, etc.
  • type=channel: Returns channel results with handles, subscriber counts, etc.

Returns YouTube's full page (~20 items) per call.

Pagination: The response includes continuation_token (when has_more=true). To fetch the next page, call the endpoint again with continuation=<token> and omit q/type (the token already encodes them).

Credit cost: 1 credit per successful request (each page).
