Re: Shutdown

[exikyut]

Just learned about the API situation while scrolling your website's post history (after reading another linked article from HN). So annoying when that happens...

You may already know about https://invidio.us/, which provides a YouTube frontend by going in the opposite direction to what this project does, and HTML-scraping youtube.com.

I'm not sure exactly how one server (??) hits YouTube on behalf of apparently 35k users without being nuked, but... somehow... it lives.

Incidentally, while verifying I did indeed remember the website's name, I discovered that the author has hit burnout: https://omar.yt/posts/stepping-away-from-open-source

It seems the server-scraping approach scales (further clarification would probably be needed, and the details probably quite interesting) where the API approach, er, doesn't.

I have no particular investment in either project; I'm simply mentioning invidio.us in case you find it relevant/interesting.
