YouTube Playlist Results API

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

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.
