Credit cost	Default: 1 credit How charges are determined Cost is decided per call, not per endpoint: the same operation can cost different amounts depending on what it returns. A call that fails costs 0 credits. A result served from cache costs 0 credits. `default` is the cost when no rule matches. Rules are evaluated in order and the first whose conditions all hold wins. A `when` condition is one of: `param` (the request parameter is true), `outcome` (the classifier's outcome), `empty` / `nonEmpty` (a response field is empty and absent, or a non-empty array or string), `flag` (a response field is exactly true). A cost of `{ perStartedMinute: n, of: [fields] }` is n x max(1, ceil(seconds / 60)), so even a short result bills at least one minute.
Cache support	Not specified in the published contract.
Pagination	No explicit pagination metadata in the published contract. Consult the parameters and response fields below.

Parameters

Name	Location / required	Schema
`query` Partial or complete YouTube search query	query / required	`string`
