# Google Short Videos API

The Google Short Videos API provides real-time access to short-form video content indexed by Google, allowing users to retrieve videos based on specific queries, topics, platforms, and customizable filters for highly relevant video results.

## Get Your API Key

Sign in at [hasdata.com](https://app.hasdata.com/sign-in), go to your account settings, and copy your API key.
All requests must include your key in the `x-api-key` header.

## Request Cost and API Credits

Each request to the Google Short Videos API consumes **API Credits** from your account balance.

* **Cost per request:** 5 API Credits
* Credits are deducted only for successful requests.
* Your total available credits depend on your active plan.

<Tip>You can use your credits across all HasData APIs. The same credit balance is shared platform-wide.</Tip>
<Warning>**Unused credits do not roll over.** Any remaining credits expire at the end of the current billing period.</Warning>

To monitor your credit usage and remaining balance, sign in to your account dashboard at [app.hasdata.com](https://app.hasdata.com/sign-in).
