**YouTube Time Machine uses the official YouTube Data API to retrieve video information and content. As such, this service operates in compliance with the following agreements and policies:
You may occasionally find that a video listed here for a specific date (e.g., Nov 11th) shows a different publication date (e.g., Nov 10th) when viewing it directly on YouTube.
This discrepancy is a result of different time zone standards:
API Time (Our Database): We retrieve the exact publication timestamp from the YouTube Data API, which uses the **Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)** standard.
YouTube Display Time: The date shown on the YouTube website is often converted to the **Pacific Time Zone (PT)**, which is the platform's default operational time zone, or the user's local time.
Therefore, a video published at 10:00 PM UTC on November 11th will appear in our database as November 11th, but may display as November 10th if you are viewing it from a region far to the west of the UTC timeline.
