Rumble Video API · SocialTap

Returns a public Rumble video, short or live stream from its link or ID, with views, likes, dislikes, title, description and channel. It also has the publish time, length, thumbnail, Rumble's categories and tags, every video and audio file with its size, and the caption tracks. A live stream says whether it is on air, when it started or is scheduled, and how many people are watching.

One schema on 21 platforms.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

Null means unknown
A field Rumble doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
Rumble video, short or live stream URL (rumble.com/v…-title.html, /shorts/v…, /share/v…, /embed/v…/) or a video ID (v…).
Write one parser
Rumble, TikTok, Instagram and 18 more platforms answer in these fields, so the code that reads one reads them all.

platformstring: Platform ID (tiktok, youtube, …).
idstring: Platform-native post ID (string; Instagram shortcode, Reddit with its t3_ prefix).
urlstring: Canonical post URL.
typestring: Normalized content shape. New values may be added; treat unknown values as other.
platform_typestring: The platform's own product label, lowercase (reel, short, story, live, tweet, …).
titlestring: Headline (YouTube title, Reddit title); null on caption-only platforms.
textstring: Caption, description or body as plain text.
languagestring: BCP-47 language of text, when the platform states it.

What teams build with the Rumble Video API.

Track views, likes and dislikes over time
Monitor live streams and their viewers
Collect video files and caption tracks
Enrich Rumble links with titles and channels

Good to know before you build.

On a video's page Rumble cuts dislike, comment and follower counts from a thousand up to three significant digits, so each can be at most one unit in its last digit under the real count; those are listed in approximate_fields.
Likes are exact when dislikes are, worked out from the rating bar. Views, and every count of a short, are exact.
metrics.comment_count is the count the video's page shows, which can be lower than the total Rumble's own lists give for the same video, and null when the page shows none.
platform_specific.rumble.embed_id is the player's ID: /embed/ links use it, and it differs from id.
platform_type is short, live (streams on air, scheduled or past) or video.
