Google Videos API

The ScraperData Google Videos API returns the videos Google shows in its Videos tab for a query as JSON: the title, the video's own address, the platform it is on and its length. Add type=videos to a search request; one page costs one credit. Videos inside normal results come back as inline_videos.

Questions about the Google Videos API

Does it only return YouTube videos?

No. It returns every video Google shows, from YouTube and other sites; source tells you the platform.

Can I get videos from normal search results?

Yes. A normal search includes inline_videos whenever Google shows a video block on the page.
