Google Videos CLI
Search Google Videos across websites and get video links, titles, snippets and available metadata as JSON.
Uses the FlashData Google Videos API.
Installation
Requires Python 3.10 or newer:
python -m pip install flashdata-google-videos==0.1.1
Or run it without a persistent install using uvx,
as in the examples below. The installed command is flashdata-google-videos.
Quick start
Create a FlashData API key with google_videos access,
then set FLASHDATA_API_KEY in your environment or secret manager. API calls use your
FlashData Credits.
export FLASHDATA_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'
uvx flashdata-google-videos@0.1.1 --query 'database indexing tutorial' --options-json '{"num": 5}' --output result.json
Omit --output to write JSON to stdout. An output file must not already exist; the CLI
checks this before making a request. API keys are read from the environment, not command flags.
Inputs
Use --query for the primary input. Pass additional fields through
--options-json. Options are validated against this package's source schema. Google count and locale options remain omitted unless supplied.
| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
num |
Requested result count. Default: null. |
page |
Search result page. Default: null. |
autocorrect |
Enable spelling autocorrection. Default: null. |
gl |
Two-letter country code, for example us. Default: null. |
hl |
Interface language code, for example en. Default: null. |
location |
Optional geographic search location. Default: null. |
tbs |
Optional Google time filter, for example qdr:w. Default: null. |
Inspect all fields, nested filters and defaults locally:
uvx flashdata-google-videos@0.1.1 --schema
--schema, --help and --version do not require an API key or make an API call.
Output and limits
The JSON response preserves the API envelope and available fields: results[].videos: video titles, links and available metadata; usage.credits.
Search discovers videos; it does not return video files or transcripts.
Pricing and errors
This MIT-licensed CLI is free to install. API calls use your own FlashData Credits.
Requests are not automatically retried. A timeout can occur after a request is accepted; check your FlashData query history before resubmitting. Each HTTP request has a 120-second network timeout, a 15-second connect timeout and a 20-MiB response limit.
Errors go to stderr. Exit codes: 0 for exported output, 2 for local input/configuration
errors, and 1 for request/output errors.
A partial output file is retained on failure; check the request before retrying because of
an output error. HTTP 401 indicates an API key issue, 402 insufficient Credits, and
429 a rate or quota limit.
