Search for videos

GET {{baseUrl}}/v2/videos/search

This endpoint searches for videos. If you specify more than one search parameter, the API uses an AND condition. Array parameters can be specified multiple times; in this case, the API uses an AND or an OR condition with those values, depending on the parameter. You can also filter search terms out in the query parameter by prefixing the term with NOT.
