How it works
From URL to result
Read the verdict
Still public, and you get its counts. Gone, and you get a plain reason instead of a number.
Do it in bulk
The API answers the same question for a whole list, and a link that turns out to be dead is not charged.
Why Sourcevine
Built for checks you can reconcile
Tells deleted from private
A deleted post will not come back. A private one might. They are different answers and this reports them differently.
No login, on any platform
One field for all three. You do not need an account on the platform you are checking.
Dated
The result says when the page was read, which matters when you are checking whether something was live at the time.
Use cases
Where this lookup fits
Agencies checking delivery
Confirm a paid post is still up before it goes into an invoice or a report.
Affiliate and partner teams
Sweep a list of creator links and find the ones that quietly disappeared.
Anyone with an old link
Find out whether a post you saved is gone, or just not visible to you.
Boundaries
What this tool will not return
Public data only
Private accounts, login-walled pages and deleted resources are not bypassed.
No contact fields
Bios, emails, phone numbers, addresses and messenger handles are outside this product boundary.
It cannot say why
Platforms do not publish a reason. A post removed by the creator and one removed by the platform both read as gone.
Posts and videos only
For a whole account, use the follower and subscriber checkers instead.
Questions
What is the difference between deleted and private?
A deleted post is gone for everyone. A private one still exists but its owner has restricted who can see it, so it may come back. The tool reports which one it found.
Does it work on all three platforms?
Yes, for posts and videos: TikTok videos and photo posts, Instagram posts and reels, YouTube videos and Shorts. Paste the link and it works out the rest.
Why does it show counts as well?
Because if the post is still up, the counts are the other thing you probably wanted. If it is gone, there are no counts to show.
What does this not show me?
Anything private. Bios, email addresses, phone numbers and anything behind a login are never fetched or shown. If an account is private the tool says so rather than guessing.
Is it really free?
Yes, and there is no signup. It runs on a shared daily allowance, so if it is busy it will ask you to come back later.
