Video

GET
/v1/youtube/video

Returns full details for one video: title, view, like and comment counts, description, tags, duration, channel info, and publish date.

Use it when you have a video URL and need its complete record; the list endpoints return lighter entries without the description or tags.

Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Video › Transcript GET

Returns the spoken transcript of a video as timestamped segments, each with text, start time and duration, plus language, word count, and speech rate. Use it for a single video URL; when the video has no captions the reply is a 404 naming the reason, which is expected rather than a failure. **60 credits** per call. Re-running the exact same call within 6h is free.

Videos › Trending GET

Returns the trending videos for a country and category, each with title, thumbnail, duration, view, like and comment counts, channel, and publish time. Use it to see what is popular in a given country right now; shorts/trending covers Shorts and takes no filters. **Metered: 20–120 credits.** We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes. Re-running the exact same call within 1h is free. Paginates by `cursor` — see [Pagination](/docs/pagination).
