I'm trying to view old community posts that I remember but youtube limits how much community posts load. It happens on all channels. The community posts aren't deleted. If you have the links you can still get to the posts for example but besides that you can't get to older community posts.

I can also see a problem with archiving and lost media if some youtube posts don't get saved.

I tried using some Community Post Scraper to archive such as but they didn't work pass 200 community posts I tried using python and java code with youtube api to try to see if I can retrieve youtube community posts with trying to find the urls but nothing worked If anyone can find a solution please let me know.

I was able to get this working for videos but not community posts.

import requests

api_key = "insert"

base_url = ";

def youtube_search(query, max_results=10):
    params = {
        "part": "snippet",
        "q": query,
        "type": "video",  
        "maxResults": max_results,
        "key": api_key
    }

    
    response = requests.get(base_url, params=params)

    
    if response.status_code == 200:
        results = response.json()
        videos = []
        
        
        for item in results.get("items", []):
            video_data = {
                "title": item["snippet"]["title"],
                "channel": item["snippet"]["channelTitle"],
                "video_url": f"={item['id']['videoId']}"
            }
            videos.append(video_data)
        
        return videos
    else:
        print("Error:", response.status_code, response.text)
        return []


search_query = "Python programming tutorials"
search_results = youtube_search(search_query)

for idx, video in enumerate(search_results, start=1):
    print(f"{idx}. {video['title']} (by {video['channel']})")
    print(f"   Watch here: {video['video_url']}")
