Input
The video search query.
Two-letter country code for result localization (e.g. us, gb, de).
Two-letter interface and results language code (e.g. en, es, de).
Fine-grained location for result localization, given as a canonical Google location string (e.g. 'New York, United States', 'London, United Kingdom'). More specific than the country-level gl.
Restrict results to a recent time window: 1h, 1d, 7d, 1y, or all. Default all (no time restriction). Allowed values: 1h, 1d, 7d, 1y, all.
Toggle Google spelling autocorrect (default true). Set false to search the exact query without correction.
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `source`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on a record that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.

Pricing
Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.00085 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.

FAQ
How do I use the Google Videos API?

How much does the Google Videos API cost?
From $0.0008 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the Google Videos API accept?
Required: query (string). Optional: gl (string), hl (string), location (string), timeframe (one of 1h, 1d, 7d, 1y, all), autocorrect (boolean) and requireFields (array). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
