sorting The posts are sorted by relevance if sorting=0, by most liked if sorting=1, most recent if sorting=2.

country (string) Retrieve the posts as if in the specified country (US, FR, UK, DE, etc.)

match_exactly (boolean) Fetch only videos where the input keyword has to be exactly present in the video caption. If true, it returns 10 posts per request.
