The Data score on video search APIs: This score, out of 100, shows how many of a search's videos match the words we searched. We count the first 10 videos of each search. We read each video's page after the run. The score is the percent of videos whose title or description has the words we searched. A video whose page is gone counts as wrong. If the provider sends fewer than 10 videos, we count each missing video as wrong. We leave out a video whose site refused us, or whose page shows no title or description. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer searches than the benchmark has.
