Use cases

If you're a YouTube archivist like myself, you hate to see missing videos due to copyright takedowns, YouTube takedowns, or the creator removing the video themselves - resulting in an incomplete archive.

This tool is meant to fix that! It searches many websites (thanks to Peteyvid, Archive.org, and Dailymotion (via DuckDuckGo searches) scraping) to find reuploads.

Setup

1. Download the latest release of Kusaki and Node.js.
2. Install the dependencies via npm install.
3. Run node kusaki. (Alternatively, if it's easier, run node kusaki --id [id] --title [title].)
4. If you're not savy at reading JSON files, you can run node reader --file [filename] to read the files quickly.
