For Chrome on Android, to view the source of a page you must manually prepend
view-source:to your URL.- For example:
view-source:https://www.example.com
- For example:
Table of Contents [hide]
2022-04-18 update ∞
Just view the source code of the page and search for datetime=
2015-12-28 ∞
Obsolete
Since a regular web page for Vimeo won’t give a proper upload date, because the developers are fucking insane, I learned how to do it another way.
Get the video ID from the URL, then get its XML information and find upload_date.
e.g. for Codehunters – (2006 movie):
<upload_date>2009-11-04 08:31:48</upload_date>


Hello there,
First of all thanks for the tip, but how to upload the once modified date to vimeo and is it legal as they say that this option is not available ?
Thank you again in advance !
Best,

Thanks for this :) … but doesn’t seem to work anymore.
However, this method works.
1. View the source code
2. Search for the string (
CTRL+F/CMD+F) of:datetime=3. Boom!
Example:
https://vimeo.com/420202270
view-source:https://vimeo.com/420202270datetime="2020-05-19T03:53:45-04:00" title="Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 3:53 AM"Thanks for sharing!
You meant the “Inspect element” feature in Chromium® engine, right?
Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be available on mobile devices..
Is there some workaround for portable devices?

In your address bar, prepend view-source:
For example:
view-source:https://www.example.comthank you so much, this still works!
No, it doesn’t!
On my Android® device, when I tried to open it by downloading a whole XML Viewer app I didn’t need otherwise..
Only the main parameters are there, but every single one of them are blank — let alone just
.I am trying to know the precise date of a video uploaded by a Pro™ account, if not the precise time.
Corrected the page style.
Updated with the latest instructions.
