Summary

Fetches a single window of trending YouTube Shorts, optionally seeded by a topic. The query is a recommendation seed, not a keyword search; caching can serve a response from the 24-hour cache.

Inputs

  • Query — Optional topic seed for the Shorts recommendation sequence. Omit it, or pass trending/shorts, to request the default reel feed.
  • Limit — Maximum number of items to return. The declared default is 0; the operation description says the default is 20 and the maximum is 100. Returns one window with no cursor. Each call costs 2 credits.
  • Cache — Set to true to use the 24-hour response cache; cache hits cost 0 credits. Defaults to false, which fetches fresh data.

Output shape

A single response envelope containing the returned Shorts items.

On cache hits, the envelope includes cached and cachedAt. This operation returns one window and provides no cursor for further pagination.
