Set to engagement, channel, or both (engagement,channel) to fill more of every row in this one call. engagement fills post.engagement.views, .likes and .comments, post.content.duration_seconds, post.ext.channel_id and post.author.display_name where the row lacks them, and replaces a date derived from a label such as "4 months ago" with the exact publish time (removing post.ext.published_precision). channel puts the channel's subscriber count on post.ext.author_followers (YouTube's own figure, which it rounds to three significant figures above 1,000) and fills the channel's post.author.display_name, .avatar_url and .username where missing. Send both to cover rows that arrive without a channel id: the video join supplies it and the channel join then uses it. Each join adds 0.2 to 0.7 seconds on a fresh page (one lookup per 50 ids, never more than 8 seconds). Read data.hydration for the rows, lookups, credits held and kept, and the time.

Exact publish dates are on by default and free. Set to false to skip the lookup: those rows then carry the supplier's estimate (a day-granular or coarser label truncated to midnight UTC), marked by post.ext.published_precision and post.ext.published_label. A row the lookup could not resolve keeps that estimate and marker, and _warnings carries exact_dates_partial (some rows) or exact_dates_unavailable (none).

Keep only rows with at least this many views (post.engagement.views). A row whose view count is unknown is discarded, so every returned row meets the floor. Filtering runs on our side after each page is fetched, so every page walked is billed as usual; data.walk.discarded counts what was removed and why.

Keep only rows published within this many days (post.published_at), 1 to 3650. A row with no date is discarded. Filtering runs on our side after each page is fetched, so every page walked is billed as usual; data.walk.discarded counts what was removed and why.

views: return the kept rows ordered by view count, highest first, across every page walked. Rows without a view count go last.

1 to 5 (default 1). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them (after any filter). Each page walked is billed as one call to this endpoint; the whole walk counts once against your rate limit. The walk stops early at the last page, or when the request's time budget runs low; data.walk.stopped says why (end, max_pages, time_budget, page_error) and data.next_cursor continues from where it stopped.

An id you choose (1 to 64 letters, digits, ., _ or -). Rows your account already received under the same seen id are removed from the page, and the page price falls with the share of repeats: page credits x new rows / rows on the page, rounded up, so a page of nothing but repeats is free. Use one id across a set of related searches; data.walk.repeats counts what was removed.
