# RUTUBE API > Live data from RUTUBE, the largest Russian video platform with tens of millions of users — served straight from its public web API, no key, nothing cached. Search videos by query and get their view counts, duration and channel; pull one video's full stats (views, duration, publish date, category and author); and list a channel's recent uploads by its person id. A distinct video-platform feed, separate from YouTube, Vimeo, Bilibili, Dailymotion, PeerTube and other video APIs. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header.
