Google swaps the Shorts carousel constantly. Your parser shouldn't care.
- Clips loaded client-side, not in the HTML
- Video and thumbnail URLs behind CDNs
- Creator and duration in mixed shapes
- Proxies and captchas per query
- Re-parse the carousel after each redesign
One GET Request. That's the whole integration.
Start with just a query. Add more parameters when your use case needs them.

Each short video comes back with the same keys, creator, duration, thumbnail, and a direct link. Map the fields once and forget about it.

I needed to scrape some information they didn't already support, and they wrote the code for me right away, which was super nice of them.
