Frequently asked questions

What does the Rumble Search API do?

The Rumble Search API lets you search and return matching results from a public Rumble query using one GET request to /v1/rumble/search. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.

How many credits does the Rumble Search API cost?

At the default limit this endpoint costs 12 credits (0.6 per result). Billing scales with how many results you request. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h shared cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Failed or empty results are never charged.

Do I need a Rumble API key or OAuth?

No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.

Is the Rumble Search API suitable for production use?

Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h shared cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
