VOD não encontrado (ou já expirou)

Error message

VOD não encontrado (ou já expirou): {}

What it means

video() looks up a VOD by id via GraphQL and throws when data.video is missing or null. Twitch returns null both for unknown ids and for VODs that expired or were deleted, so the message explicitly mentions expiry — a frequent cause given Twitch's 14/30/60-day retention limits.

Solutions

1. Open https://www.twitch.tv/videos/<id> to confirm the VOD still exists
2. Check whether the VOD expired per the channel's retention window — it cannot be recovered
3. Correct the VOD id (must be the numeric id, not a title/slug)
4. For sub-only VODs, ensure proper authentication cookies are supplied if supported

Example fix

// before
let v = gql.video("1234567890").await?; // expired VOD
// after
let v = match gql.video("1234567890").await {
    Ok(v) => v,
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("expirou") => {
        eprintln!("VOD unavailable/expired; pick another");
        return Err(e);
    }
    Err(e) => return Err(e),
};

let id = input.trim();
if !id.chars().all(|c| c.is_ascii_digit()) {
    eprintln!("VOD id must be numeric, got: {id}");
    return Ok(());
}
// Optionally: check twitch.tv/videos/{id} is still live before calling.

match gql.video(id).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("expirou") => {
        eprintln!("VOD {id} is gone (expired/deleted); cannot recover");
        Ok(())
    }
    other => other,
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling gql.video(id) (directly or via clip_video / resolve_chat_target) with an id whose VOD no longer exists: expired after the retention window, deleted by the broadcaster, removed by DMCA, or a mistyped id.

Common situations: Trying to download chat for an old VOD past its subscriber retention period; DMCA-deleted VODs; wrong id (using a slug or timestamp instead of the numeric VOD id); turbo/sub-only VODs accessed without auth.

Understand the failure class

Background: "Not found" and "does not exist" errors: why "Task not found", "No such folder", and "Can't find" fire when a lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 14 libraries.
