Yandex Videos API
Our Yandex Videos API allows you to scrape SERP results from Yandex Videos. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=yandex_videos.
A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=yandex_videos utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Localization
yandex_domain
Optional
Parameter defines the Yandex Videos domain to use. It defaults to yandex.com. Head to the Yandex domains for a full list of supported Yandex domains.
Serpapi Parameters
device
Optional
Parameter defines the device to use to get the results. It can be set to desktop (default) to use a regular browser, tablet to use a tablet browser (currently using iPads), or mobile to use a mobile browser (currently using iPhones).
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Yandex Videos results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.
async
Optional
Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
API Results
JSON Results

A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.
