PeerTube Search API is one of 54 APIs that [PeerTube](https://apis.io/providers/peertube/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Search. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, and rate-limit docs.

The search helps to find _videos_ or _channels_ from within the instance and beyond. Videos from other instances federated by the instance (that is, instances followed by the instance) can be found via keywords and other criteria of the advanced search. Administrators can also enable the use of a remote search system, indexing videos and channels that may not be federated by the instance.
