YouTube Movie Results API

When a YouTube search contains movie results, they are parsed and exist within the movie_results array in the JSON output.

API Examples

Movie results overview

When SerpApi encounters movie results, we add them to our JSON output as the array movie_results. For each movie result, we are able to extract its position_on_page, title, link, channel, description, info, thumbnail and more.
