| As Google continues to wage war upon the internet and break it on all the ways only convenient to Google, sometimes its domains break the standards, to be more specific: www.google.com does not return a required meta data and YouTube does funny re-directions on mobile which also causes this library to return wrong data. The trillion dollar corporations are not your friends. | ||

| - If you are running on a mobile, **please think about what you are doing**, this library does not do magic it simply fetches the website and parses data, therefore it as if the user would visit the page, YouTube re-directs you to the mobile site and Instagram (and other social sites) might redirect you to registration pages, you can try to change the user-agent header (try with google-bot), but there is nothing wrong with this library, work around these issues yourself. | ||
