OK.ru Video
The video arm of Odnoklassniki, a major Russian social network hosting hundreds of millions of clips. It is mainly of interest as a place where Russian-language footage or reuploads of vanished videos may survive. There is no open query route, the official API requires a registered app and key, so you use its on-site search via a direct link. Currently degraded: the site returns empty results to automated connections, so search it manually in a browser.
No programmatic check, opens the archive’s own search.
Why it’s useful & how it works
OK.ru is the video section of Odnoklassniki, a major Russian social network popular with older demographics in Russia and the former Soviet sphere. It is particularly worth checking for Russian-language footage and reuploads of content that has disappeared elsewhere. The official API requires a registered application and API key, and automated web search from outside the platform returns empty results, so Echo links you directly to the site where you run the search in your browser while signed in.
What’s inside
Hundreds of millions of clips across a platform with over 200 million registered users. Total video counts are not publicly reported by the operator.
API access
official Odnoklassniki API needs app + key
An API key is required (usually free); see the endpoints above for where to get one.
