Google Videos scraper API
Scrape Google Videos results as clean JSON from the API, or the same rows as CSV: title, channel, duration, upload date, a direct thumbnail, snippet, and the video link. One credit per successful search, however many videos come back, and empty searches are free.
One request, real response
The same videos as CSV, so they drop straight into Sheets or a database:
Add gl and hl for country and language, and page with page for more results.
The full record, ready to use
Every video comes complete, so you build a feed or a dataset with no second call. The same record as CSV, ready for Sheets or a database:
Or the same record as clean JSON, straight from the API:
vs serper and serpapi
All three return Google Videos as JSON. The difference is what each result carries and how you pay for it.
| Other Video APIs | CrustAPI Videos | |
|---|---|---|
| Billing unit | Charged per search, even when it returns nothing | One credit per successful search, however many come back; empty results free |
| Thumbnail | Redirect or gstatic thumbnail | Direct thumbnail URL you can hotlink |
| Channel + duration | Sometimes missing | Channel, duration, and date on every row |
| Free tier | Trial credits that expire | 3,000 credits / month, no card |
| Credits expiry | Expire monthly or in 6 months | Never expire |
| Storing the data | Varies by provider | No storage limits. Keep it, export it, build on it |
One credit per successful search
Prepaid packs, and credits never expire: 25k for $49 · 100k for $149 · 500k for $549 · 2.5M for $1,999 · up to 250M, all self-serve, ex-tax. A search that returns videos costs one credit, however many come back; a search that returns none costs nothing.
Direct thumbnails, plus channel and duration
Each result carries a direct imageUrl you can hotlink, the same thumbnail Google shows on the results page, next to the channel name, the runtime, and the upload date. A video grid or a research sheet looks finished without a second scrape.

When the YouTube Data API is the better pick: you need exact view counts, like counts, full comment threads, or a channel's complete upload history under a platform contract. Google Videos gives you the title, channel, duration, date, thumbnail, snippet, and link, which is what most discovery, monitoring, and research work needs, but it is not a licensed metrics feed.
