The Search endpoint returns a collection of YouTube video transcripts, including video metadata such as video ID, title, channel name, publish date, and timestamps of matched phrases. Each result includes a relevance score and a summary of the video's content.
Key fields in the response data include `id`, `videoId`, `title`, `channelName`, `publishDate`, `matchCount`, `aiSummary`, and `timestamps`. Each timestamp entry contains the time, formatted time, transcript text, and context of the match.
The response data is organized as a JSON object containing a `results` array. Each element in the array represents a video, with grouped timestamps for matched phrases, allowing users to easily navigate through relevant moments in the video.
The Search endpoint supports parameters for query strings, allowing users to specify search terms for exact phrase matching or fuzzy search. Users can also filter results based on metadata like duration and category.
The Search endpoint provides information about video transcripts, including matched phrases, timestamps, video metadata (title, channel, publish date), and relevance scores, enabling users to find specific content within videos.
Data accuracy is maintained through continuous updates and quality checks on the transcript database. The API employs fuzzy matching algorithms to ensure that even with minor errors in search terms, relevant results are still returned.
Typical use cases include content analysis, educational research, and media monitoring. Users can find specific quotes or moments in videos, enhance video search capabilities, or create summaries based on transcript data.
Users can utilize the returned data by leveraging timestamps to navigate directly to specific moments in videos, using relevance scores to prioritize results, and employing the AI summary for quick insights into video content.
