Rumble Search API. Videos, shorts and live streams matching your search.

Videos, shorts and live streams for any keyword. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Searches Rumble's public videos and live streams, or its shorts, by keyword, ranked by relevance, newest or most viewed, a page at a time. Each result has its link, title, thumbnail, upload time, length, views, likes, dislikes and comments, its channel with the verified badge, and whether a stream is on air with its viewer count. Shorts also have exact counts, the channel's follower count and the video file. Filter by upload date and length with Rumble's own filters.

200 OK · GET https://socialtap.dev/v1/rumble/search_postsLong arrays and strings are shortened here. Real responses are complete.Docs

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
Keywords, matched by Rumble's search against titles and channels.
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 Search API.

Monitor Rumble for a brand or topic
Find the most viewed videos on a subject
Catch new uploads for a keyword
Collect shorts for trend research

Good to know before you build.

Video results show Rumble's abbreviated counts (2.42K), cut rather than rounded to three significant digits, so slightly under the real count: those values are listed in approximate_fields. A count a result doesn't show (no votes or comments yet) is null. Shorts have exact counts.
Rumble serves a limited number of result pages per search, and a walk that reaches it ends with page.end_reason platform_limit.
Search results carry no description: text is null and hashtags and mentions are listed in unknown_fields. The Rumble Video API on the video's link has them.
Rumble's search matches Latin-script keywords, so a query in Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew or CJK script finds nothing. Queries Rumble's firewall reads as SQL or script injection are refused with invalid_input.
