Fetching up to 1k videos details per request - Poix API Documentation

Let’s explore how to fetch detailed information for multiple YouTube videos in a single request using the Poix.io API batch request endpoint. This feature allows you to retrieve data for up to 1,000 videos at once, which can be useful when you need to fetch data for multiple videos simultaneously.

Request examples

const options = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer poix-xxx',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ ids: ['dQw4w9WgXcQ'] }),
};

fetch('https://api.poix.io/batch/videos', options)
  .then((response) => response.json())
  .then((response) => console.log(response))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.poix.io/batch/videos \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer poix-xxx' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "ids": [
    "dQw4w9WgXcQ"
  ]
}'

import requests

url = "https://api.poix.io/batch/videos"

payload = {"ids": ["dQw4w9WgXcQ"]}
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer poix-xxx",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, json=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

In this request, we are fetching data for the YouTube video with the ID dQw4w9WgXcQ. You can provide up to 1k video IDs in the ids array to fetch data for multiple videos.
