Frequently asked questions
- How do I view a YouTube video's source?
- Open the YouTube video in your browser, then press Ctrl+U (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option+U (Mac) to open the page source. Select all with Ctrl+A, copy with Ctrl+C, then paste into the tool.
- Why can't the tool fetch YouTube tags automatically?
- Browser security policies (CORS) prevent websites from fetching content from other domains like YouTube. The tool works around this by parsing the page source you paste manually.
- Why are some videos' tags not visible?
- YouTube channels can hide their video tags from the public. If a channel has disabled tag visibility, the tags won't appear in the page source HTML at all. Newer YouTube uploads may also store tags differently in the ytInitialData JSON.
- How should I use competitors' tags?
- Use competitors' tags as keyword research inspiration, not to copy them exactly. Look for relevant tags you haven't considered, understand which terms they're targeting, then create a tag strategy based on your own content and audience.
