Free listings over time

Daily counts started on October 28, 2026; the growth chart appears once there are a few days of history.

How it's counted: each source reports its own size once a day, from its API's search totals, never a crawl (hover a row for the method). 0 of 3 sources publish release dates, so "New" covers those. Data: /catalog.json · history · API

New video sources are checked regularly. A site is searched directly only when its terms allow automated search and its integration passes the test suite against the live site; the rest get deep links.

How usage is counted

  • Every search, clip detail view, download redirect and MCP tool call increments a counter on the server. The counters are labelled only by surface (website, REST API, MCP), client family (for example "Claude Code" or "curl"), category and source.
  • Totals for the last 24 hours and 7 days come from the server's Prometheus metrics, so they are approximate to within a few events.
  • Source health counts how often each site answered a search, failed or timed out, and how long it took.
  • The same data is available as JSON at /v1/stats (reference). See the privacy policy for what is logged.
