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
