Overview

This node performs video searches using the Google Search resource of the Outscraper API. It allows users to query Google for videos matching a specific search term, with options to control the number of pages returned, language, region, date range, and other search parameters. It is useful for gathering video content data from Google for research, marketing, or content aggregation purposes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Search for videos related to 'latest tech reviews' and retrieve up to 3 pages of results.
  2. Filter video search results to only show videos from the past month in French language.
  3. Use asynchronous requests with a webhook URL to handle large video search tasks and receive results when ready.

Properties
