FAQ
Does the tool work with private playlists?
No. The YouTube Data API only returns data for public or unlisted playlists. Private playlists will return zero results, so make sure sharing settings allow access.
Why do I need my own API key?
Using your key ensures you have dedicated quota. The shared default key may hit limits during peak hours, especially when scanning large playlists. Adding your key keeps requests stable.
What happens to removed or blocked videos?
They are counted as unavailable entries in the report. The calculator flags them so you can replace missing clips or adjust expectations before you start watching.
