Hi, I would like to report an issue with saving pages from nicovideo.jp (NicoNico, Japanese video platform).
Summary of the problem:
  • Until around September 2025, Raindrop.io was able to correctly fetch both the page title and the thumbnail from nicovideo.jp video URLs.
  • Currently, when saving a video URL such as:
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/XXXXXX
the title field becomes just “ニコニコ” instead of the actual video title.
  • The thumbnail is also not fetched anymore.
  • Refreshing the preview does not fix the issue.
What I confirmed:
  • The page does contain valid OGP tags (og:title, og:image), confirmed via browser DevTools.
  • However, Raindrop.io seems to receive different HTML than what the browser shows.
  • It is possible that nicovideo.jp started serving different content to crawlers or changed how OGP tags are delivered (e.g., inserted via JavaScript).
Expected behavior:
  • Raindrop.io should fetch the correct video title and thumbnail from nicovideo.jp, just like it does for YouTube and other video platforms.
If needed, I can provide additional URLs or raw HTML responses.
Thank you!
