Scrape video title and channel ID

Extension or Userscript?

Request or suggest a new feature!

I am trying to determine the name of some deleted videos and/or their channel ID, and I think if you added this additional data to you db, you'd provide a massive public service for everyone that is dealing with the issue - at least the video title. I understand this might not be in the scope of this project, but perhaps this data will be of some value for you as well, if not now, then down the line. Thank you.

Ways to implement this!

this would actually be a great idea, it can provide a brief historical data about that video when it becomes unavailable from the public

if it can collect and retrieve view counts from the api, might as well include the video title too

but i can see why the creator would refuse, it adds up to more storage from the database (kind of like 6tb to 17tb if it included every video title)

the current api returns these:

{
    "id": "<yt_video_id>",
    "dateCreated": "<created_at>",
    "likes": 0,
    "rawDislikes": 0,
    "rawLikes": 0,
    "dislikes": 0,
    "rating": 0,
    "viewCount": 0,
    "deleted": false
}
