{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does YouTube SERP API cost?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
It depends on the function. Search and Comments cost $0.0006 per 20-result block in the Standard queue, $0.0012 in the Priority queue, and $0.002 in Live mode. Video Info and Subtitles cost three times as much: $0.0018, $0.0036, and $0.006 respectively.<\/p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the billing unit for YouTube SERP API?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Search is billed per page of up to 20 result blocks, and Comments per block of up to 20 comments. Increasing block_depth for Search or depth for Comments can add billed pages. Video Info and Subtitles each cover one video per task.<\/p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why do Video Info and Subtitles cost 3x the base price?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
These functions return substantially more data per request — full video statistics or a complete timestamped transcript — which takes considerably more processing than returning a page of search results or comments. The flat 3x multiplier covers the whole request regardless of video length.<\/p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does the number of comments or subtitle lines affect the price?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Yes, for Search and Comments: requesting more than the default 20-result billing block can add charges. Video Info and Subtitles are billed per video task.<\/p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which mode should I choose — Standard, Priority, or Live?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
It's a trade-off between speed and price. Live mode returns real-time results within ~6 seconds on average and suits interactive applications. The Priority queue delivers results in about a minute at 60% of the Live price. The Standard queue is the most economical, averaging ~5 minutes with a target turnaround of 45 minutes — well suited to batch and scheduled jobs. The choice is made per task, and you can mix modes freely.<\/p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do any other parameters affect the price?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
The supported keyword or video ID, location, language, and device settings are included in the base price. Search block_depth and Comments depth affect the number of billed pages. Retrieving queued results is free.<\/p>"}}]}
