One endpoint to search all of YouTube

Everything the endpoint returns, structured the same way every time so your agent never parses HTML.

Every result type

Videos, Shorts, channels, playlists, and movies returned from a single query in one structured envelope.

Read the docs

Precise filters

Type, sort order, upload date, duration, and feature flags like 4K, HDR, subtitles, live, and Creative Commons.

Read the docs

Structured results

View count as an integer, ISO 8601 publish date, duration in seconds, and thumbnails at two sizes on every result.

Deep pagination

Continuation tokens let agents go well past the first page for broad sweeps across a topic.

What agents build with the Search API.

From one-off research to systems that monitor entire creator ecosystems, Stophy turns public video into usable context.

Discovery

Find relevant videos before fetching transcripts, comments, or details.

Topic sweeps

Discover channels, playlists, and videos around a topic before deeper analysis.

Keyword monitoring

Monitor a keyword for new uploads and send fresh hits into a workflow.

Ranking

Rank results by views, recency, duration, or fit before spending credits downstream.

We handle the hard parts of search

We absorb filter encoding, result normalization, bot detection, proxy rotation, and retries. Your agent makes one call and gets clean JSON back, and nothing breaks when YouTube changes.

6

Endpoints, one key

Never gets blocked

Rotating proxies, real client headers, retries, and a circuit breaker keep every request flowing.

Built for speed

Responses come back in milliseconds, so your agent never stalls waiting on YouTube.

Straight from the source

Real transcripts and metadata pulled live from YouTube — never stale, never third-hand.

Speaks your agent’s language

REST, SDK, CLI, and MCP. Plug into whatever surface your agent already uses.
