youtube-regex's Issues

Regex doesn't work for these cases

https://www.youtube.com/HamdiKickProduction?v=DFYRQ_zQ-gk
https://www.youtube.com/feed/trending

Also why is video id length range 6-11? From what I found, video ids are 11 chars.

Some youtube/tv links not working

It doesn't work on some youtube.com/tv links

Trying to get in touch regarding a security issue

Hey there!

I'd like to report a security issue but cannot find contact instructions on your repository.

If not a hassle, might you kindly add a SECURITY.md file with an email, or another contact method? GitHub recommends this best practice to ensure security issues are responsibly disclosed, and it would serve as a simple instruction for security researchers in the future.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you!

"{6,11}" youtube video ID is 11 chars since 2005

Youtube URL pattern with trailing slash

Hello,

It seems like this URL with a trailing slash after watch is a valid Youtube URL.
https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=v2ifWcnQs6M

I haven't seen it offered officially by Youtube, but some of our users submitted links (that failed) with such slash.

Is is something you could support?
Anyway thank you for offering this module.

Cheers

Support Youtube thumbnail URLs

Is there a way we can have it so this module supports Youtube thumbnail URLs? Here is a relevant Stackoverflow question.

Ideally the regex would support URLs such as

https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg
https://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/hqdefault.jpg

Along with the other quality thumbnails.

Support youtu.be

Youtu.be is youtube's short url

Global flag

I tried, just for curiosity, against this URL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T2Dxgn-lls in a normal Firefox browser with normal .match and it wouldn't work unless removing the g flag. After removing it the regex returned the id in the array as needed. Is this the wanted behaviour?

Why return a function?

Possibly missing something, but it seems to me like:

module.exports = /(?:youtube\.com\/\S*(?:(?:\/e(?:mbed))?\/|watch\/?\?(?:\S*?&?v\=))|youtu\.be\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{6,11})/g;

Would be a better solution and let you get the benefits of Node module caching. Is there a reason you don't use it?

demo

cuz dont like these online regex tools 💃

Is this repository maintained?

There are half decades old issues and no recent activity. Most recent issues seem like it needs some response but none are present. Do you need help or?
