Filmot
A searchable index of YouTube metadata and subtitles spanning hundreds of millions of videos, including ones since deleted or made private. You can search video metadata and even words spoken in subtitles through the free web interface; the informal API needs a key issued by the operator. Its unique value is surfacing details of deleted YouTube videos, which often survive nowhere else. Degraded at present: video pages sit behind a Cloudflare gate against automated connections, so plan on browsing it manually.

Чем полезен и как работает
Filmot's defining capability is full-text search over YouTube subtitles: you can find any video by words actually spoken in it, not just its title. This makes it uniquely useful for tracking down a deleted or private video when you only remember a phrase or quotation from it. The free web interface lets anyone run a search; an informal API is available but requires a key from the operator. At present, individual video pages load behind a browser verification step, so for deep lookups you will need to browse the site in a normal browser rather than relying on automated access.
Что внутри
Over 720 million subtitle tracks indexed across around 645 million YouTube videos from 52 million channels, including many videos that have since been deleted or made private.
