These results are specific to the selected location (see [the List of Locations](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/youtube/locations.md)) and language (see [the List of Languages](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/youtube/languages.md)) settings. ![checked](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/wp-content/themes/dataforseo/assets/img/icons/checked-circle.svg) POST https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/youtube/organic/live/advanced Pricing Your account will be charged for each request. The cost can be calculated on the [Pricing](https://dataforseo.com/pricing/serp/youtube-serp-api "Pricing") page. All POST data should be sent in the [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) format (UTF-8 encoding). When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute, each Live SERP API call can contain only one task.
