# Google Short videos schema

> Schema for the cards of Google's Short videos carousel returned by the Google Search endpoint: title, platform, channel, duration, link and thumbnail.

The [Google Search endpoint](https://cloro.dev/docs/api-reference/endpoint/monitor-google.md) returns the cards of Google's "Short videos" carousel (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook reels) as `result.shortVideos`, on desktop and mobile, with no flag and at no extra cost. The carousel can be in the result column, in an entity's whole-page panel, or in a "Short videos" section of an entity page, open or closed. `shortVideos` is omitted when the SERP has no Short videos carousel.

Every card the page holds is returned, including the cards the user sees by scrolling the carousel. Google can show a video in the [Videos carousel](https://cloro.dev/docs/api-reference/endpoint/google/videos.md) too; it is then in both `result.videos` and `result.shortVideos`.

## Short videos structure

| Field | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `title` | string | Heading of the carousel as shown ("Short videos", "Vidéos courtes"), when it has one |
| `expanded` | boolean | `true` if the carousel is open on the page; `false` when it sits in a closed section the user opens with a tap |
| `items` | array | The cards, in page order. See below |

### Short video

`position`, `title` and `link` are always present. Every other field is included only when Google shows it on the card.

| Field | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| `position` | number | Position within the carousel (1-indexed) |
| `title` | string | Title of the video as shown |
| `link` | string | URL of the video |
| `platform` | string | Site that hosts the video as shown ("YouTube", "Instagram"), or the publisher's name |
| `channel` | string | Account that posted the video, as shown |
| `duration` | string | Length of the video as shown (`"0:42"`) |
| `thumbnail` | string | URL of Google's thumbnail of the video |
| `redirectLink` | string | Google's `/goto` redirect for `link`. See [Redirect links](https://cloro.dev/docs/api-reference/endpoint/google/resolve-goto.md). |
