API Examples
Playlist results overview
When SerpApi encounters playlist results, we add them to our JSON output as the array playlist_results. For each playlist result, we are able to extract its position_on_page, title, link, video_count videos and thumbnail. From the videos, we are able to extract title, link and length.
