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 scraping setup required.

How many credits does the Rumble Search API cost?

Each successful call costs 12 credits. Responses are cached for 24 hours, and cached results cost 0 credits. 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, and Rumble. 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, automatic retries, and a shared 24-hour cache. Use it for RAG pipelines, analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
