FAQ
Do you have the video I'm looking for?
No, sorry. If you can't find it using the search bar then it's not in the dataset.
How can I find video files for deleted videos?
You can use the "Check for video on Wayback Machine" link. However, it might not work for unpopular videos.
The "Available on youtube" field was incorrect! / How is video availability checked?
Video availability works by checking if the video thumbnail exists on YTs servers. If it does, then the video is available to view on the site. While this method works most of the time, there are some exceptions where the video is not available but the thumbnail is still returned.
The results are inconsistent!
Results for very large queries [uncommon] have their results trimmed due to hardware constraints.
The website is slow!
Sorry, self hosting it on limited hardware
Is source code available?
Not yet, working on it
I have questions/suggestions on improving the site!
Feel free to contact me. DMs are open all the time
