YouTube Category Results API
This kind of results are similar to the main YouTube Video Results, except that they are categorized and put under different "categories" (e.g. Top news, Latest from..., etc). When SerpApi encounters this type of results, we add them to our JSON output. For each category result, we are able to extract its position_on_page, title, link, channel, published_date, views, length, thumbnail and more.
