	Category	Pro
	Billable event	Successful lookupVideo request
	Triggers	Successful requests to lookupVideo that return URLs are billed. A single, successful lookupVideo response may return multiple URLs, each for a different resolution or orientation, but still counts as a single billable event. Billing doesn't depend on actual views of those URLs by end users.
