Technical Details

• The location parameter uses the format latitude,longitude. For London, we use the coordinates 51.5074,0.1278.
• The locationRadius parameter specifies the geographic area in which to search. It must be used in conjunction with the location parameter.
• The type parameter must be set to video when using location-based search.

​

Error Handling

If the API call fails, it will return an appropriate HTTP status code along with an error message in the response body. Common errors include:

• 400 Bad Request: Invalid query parameters
• 403 Forbidden: Token is missing or invalid

Always handle potential errors in your code to ensure a smooth user experience.

​

Note

Location-based search may not always return results exactly within the specified radius. The API uses the location and radius as a hint to return relevant results, but may include videos from a slightly larger area if necessary to provide a good set of results.
