# Search the YouTube creators dataset

`GET /datasets/youtube-creators/search`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/datasets/youtube-creators/search`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Searches public YouTube channel profiles stored in a search index — subscriber, video and view counts, region, bio and links, discovered via Common Crawl and Wikidata and hydrated from each channel's public About page. Sort enum: `relevance`, `followers_desc`, `followers_asc`, `views_desc`, `videos_desc`, `hydrated_at_desc`, `hydrated_at_asc`. Some channels hide their subscriber, video, or view count; the `_available` flags on each item distinguish a hidden count (stored as `0`, `*_available: false`) from a genuine `0`. Billing: this search costs 1 credit per record returned, with a minimum of 2 (an empty result costs 2, a full page of 100 costs 100).
