SearchAPI.io - YouTube Channel Videos API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-youtube-channel-videos on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Retrieve a list of videos from a YouTube channel with pagination support. Cross-linking: The channel ID returned by this API can be used with the YouTube Channel API to fetch detailed channel information. Video IDs can be used with the YouTube Video Details API to get comprehensive video information.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
channel_id string yes
engine string no Fixed to “youtube_channel_videos” for this endpoint. Example: “youtube_channel_videos”
gl string no
hl string no
next_page_token string no

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-youtube-channel-videos prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"searchapi-io-youtube-channel-videos","input":{"channel_id":"<channel_id>","engine":"youtube_channel_videos"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "searchapi-io-youtube-channel-videos",
    input: {
      channel_id: "<channel_id>",
      engine: "youtube_channel_videos",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "searchapi-io-youtube-channel-videos",
        "input": {
            "channel_id": "<channel_id>",
            "engine": "youtube_channel_videos",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:youtube.channel.videos as endpointId; see the job page.
