# Google Short Videos Search

Search short videos from Google's Short videos tab and get the video cards as structured JSON: title, rendered duration, source platform, channel, link, thumbnail and preview clip. A page carries the 12 cards Google renders, and pagination uses 12-aligned start offsets up to the documented 360 policy cap. Direct platform links are returned where Google embeds them; every other card returns its Google redirect link. Requests that fail upstream are never charged. A query with no short videos is served by Google neither with cards nor with an explicit no-results marker and answers 503, non-billable; should a page ever arrive explicitly marked as empty, it is a successful, charged 200 with an empty result array.
