YouTube Organic Search Rankings API: AI Large Language Models

Retrieve ranked YouTube search results, video items, view counts, and channel metadata through MuAPI.

📝

Overview

About this model

YouTube Organic SERP returns the same ranked video results a real searcher sees for a given keyword, without the noise of ads or personalization. Each item includes the video's rank position, title, channel name and URL, view count, duration, publication date, and thumbnail, so you can see exactly which videos and channels currently dominate a topic. Because the data is fetched live at request time rather than served from a stale index, it reflects the current ranking order, making it suitable for both one-off competitive snapshots and recurring rank-tracking jobs across a keyword list.

1Rank tracking: Monitor a video or channel's search position for target keywords over time.

2Content gap analysis: See which video formats and channels currently rank for a topic before producing new content.

3Competitive research: Identify which competitors dominate video search results for a niche.

4Brand monitoring: Confirm brand-owned videos appear where expected for branded search terms.

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What data is returned for each video?

Title, video ID, URL, description snippet, channel title/URL/ID, views count, duration, publication date, and thumbnail URL.

How is the request charged?

Live requests reserve from $0.003333 per 20-result chunk; Standard requests reserve from $0.001 per normal-priority task or $0.002 at high priority. The final charge reconciles the returned task cost.

Can I target a specific country or device?

Yes, `location` and `device` (`desktop` or `mobile`) both affect ranking order, matching how YouTube personalizes results by market and device type.

How many results are returned per request?

Live requests support `depth` from 10 to 200; Standard requests support up to 700. Organic pricing is calculated in 20-result chunks.

Is this useful for tracking a specific video's rank?

Yes, run the same keyword periodically and locate your video's `rank` field in the response to track position changes over time.
