instances

[chrkoewar]

took me a while to figure out, that different urls/instances are possible for scraping. maybe document it here somewhere?

Indeed it's configurable, i put an example in the readme but i'll document it further, thanks

Is there currently a working invidious api instance that can be used?
I started with ytfzf, then stumbled on to this tool, but still can't even get search results.

Perhaps I am doing something else wrong.

With this tool, I got a 503 response.

You might have to host yours
But yeah public one aren't so reliable in my experience

[kristaps777]

Shucks, I was so looking forward to trying this thing out.
So, I would have to build & host my own search api which is complaint with invidious API schema?

[Banh-Canh]

Not really, just host an invidious server yourself or try another public server :/

[kristaps777]

No idea, what that means.
What server would I be hosting?

You would have to set up this or use another public server, just like for ytfzf
