Ask HN: Is it legal to crawl/index YouTube? Does Google try to stop it?
What’s Googles attitude to this?
Are you in their bad books if you crawl/index YouTube?
- dana321 6y agoThey have a sitemap, so i reckon it would be ok but honestly it would be better to use the youtube api. https://www.youtube.com/sitemaps/sitemap.xml https://www.youtube.com/sitemaps/sitemap.xml

- lol636363 6y agoIt is legal but ToS may prohibit it.
- Trias11 6y agoNothing illegal about it. They may have some opinionated terms of service but i don't think anyone bother reading it besides their own lawyers
