GET /v1/rumble/videos1 credit per successful request.
About this endpoint
Monitoring briefs that include political talk shows, news clips, and creator streams often land a Rumble link before anyone has a channel handle or upload list. You need title, duration, view count, and who posted it — without scraping the watch page HTML every time the layout changes.
`GET /v1/rumble/videos` takes a required `url` query param (a public Rumble video link). On a found lookup you get `data.video` with id, canonical url, title, description, thumbnail, duration (seconds plus a formatted label), publish time, resolution, embed and share URLs, `isLive`, nested `metrics` (views, likes, dislikes), `channel` (name, handle, url), and `captionTracks` when subtitle files are listed. Branch on `data.lookupStatus` before you write rows — HTTP 200 alone does not mean the video resolved.
Pricing is on the credit badge for this operation; bill from `meta.creditsCharged`. This route is single-video detail. Spoken text is `GET /v1/rumble/videos/transcript`. Comment threads are `GET /v1/rumble/videos/comments`. Channel upload lists are `GET /v1/rumble/channels/videos`. Keyword discovery is `GET /v1/rumble/search`. Same API key across the Rumble tag.
Rumble Video API FAQ
How do I get Rumble video metadata via API?
Call GET /v1/rumble/videos with your Social Fetch API key (x-api-key) and a public video url query param. Read data.lookupStatus, then data.video (title, metrics, channel, captionTracks). Full parameters and examples are in the API docs.
How much does the Rumble video endpoint cost?
Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged — that field is the billing source of truth.
What does the Rumble video response include?
When found: data.video with id, url, title, description, thumbnailUrl, durationSeconds, durationFormatted, publishedAt, metrics (views, likes, dislikes), width, height, channel, captionTracks, embedUrl, shareUrl, and isLive. Always branch on data.lookupStatus first.
What URL formats does the Rumble Video API accept?
Public Rumble video URLs (watch-page links to a single video). Pass one url per request. Private or deleted videos resolve as not_found rather than a fake empty object.
Does a completed lookup always mean the video was found?
No. HTTP 200 means the request finished. Check data.lookupStatus: found means you got video details; not_found means the URL did not resolve. Persist meta.requestId when you need to debug a miss.
How is this different from the Rumble transcript endpoint?
This route returns video metadata, channel, engagement metrics, and caption track listings. GET /v1/rumble/videos/transcript returns the spoken text (plainText and timed segments when available). Call video detail when you need views and title; call transcript when you need caption content.
Can I list every upload from a channel on this route?
No. This endpoint fetches one video by URL. For a channel's upload list use GET /v1/rumble/channels/videos. For keyword discovery use GET /v1/rumble/search.
Do I need a Rumble developer key to look up a video?
No. You authenticate to Social Fetch with an API key. The route reads public video data; it does not act on behalf of a logged-in Rumble user.
