Overview: YouTube Video Metadata & SEO Inspector and Architecture
Optimizing YouTube videos for algorithmic search reach requires auditing metadata, title keyword placement, and engagement tags. The YouTube Video Metadata & SEO Inspector extracts public metadata from any video link to assist creators and marketers.
The tool analyzes video identifiers, retrieves public oEmbed details, formats responsive embed codes (``;
let reportHtml = `
Video Title: ${title}
Channel: ${author}
Video ID: ${videoId}
Title Length: ${title.length} characters (${title.length <= 60 ? 'Optimal for Search' : 'May truncate on mobile (>60 chars)'})
Thumbnails:
- Download 1080p MaxRes Thumbnail
- Download High-Quality (HQ) Thumbnail
Responsive HTML Embed Code:
${embedCode.replace(//g, '>')}
`;
outputDiv.innerHTML = reportHtml;
if (imageResultContainer && imageOutput) {
imageOutput.src = maxResThumb;
imageOutput.onerror = () => { imageOutput.src = hqThumb; };
imageResultContainer.style.display = 'block';
}
} catch (e) {
const maxResThumb = `https://img.youtube.com/vi/${videoId}/maxresdefault.jpg`;
outputDiv.innerHTML = `
