Search Operators

Use search operators to refine results:

  • site:youtube.com – Limit to specific site
  • "exact phrase" – Match exact phrase
  • -exclude – Exclude term

Set operators=false to disable operator parsing.

Use Cases

  • Video content research: Find tutorials, explainers, and reviews by topic. Use the video.duration, video.views, and video.creator metadata to filter and rank results programmatically. Prefer videos-search over web-search when you need a dedicated video index with richer metadata (duration, views, creator, tags) and up to 50 results per request.
  • Fresh video monitoring: Use freshness=pd or freshness=pw to track newly published video content on trending topics or specific subjects.
  • Platform-specific search: Use site:youtube.com or site:vimeo.com operators to target specific video platforms.
  • Video metadata extraction: Get view counts, durations, creator info, and tags for analytics, content curation, or recommendation systems.

Notes

  • Pagination: Use offset (0-9) with count for more results
  • Max results: Up to 50 results per request
