What about VideoObject / Course / HowTo / Recipe / Event?

Course, HowTo, Recipe, and Event are supported. VideoObject is on the roadmap.

Currently supported (15 types):

  • Course, for Magento + Hyvä academy / training sites. Validates name, description, provider, and hasCourseInstance if present.
  • HowTo, for tutorial CMS pages. Validates step array with HowToStep children. Note: Google demoted HowTo rich results for non-Google-Search-Console-verified sites in 2023; the schema still validates but the rich result rarely shows for ecommerce stores.
  • Recipe, for food / DTC food brands selling cookware or ingredients. Full validation including recipeIngredient, recipeInstructions, nutrition.
  • Event, for stores running launches, pop-ups, webinars. Validates startDate, endDate, location, organizer.

VideoObject is the most-requested addition. I’m holding back on it because Google’s VideoObject rules require live URL probes for contentUrl + thumbnailUrl + duration check, and that conflicts with the “zero data stored” promise of this tool. I’m exploring a HEAD-only validation pattern; expect it in Q3 2026.

If you need to validate something exotic (Dataset, MedicalEntity, Drug, etc.), paste it anyway with Auto-detect, the validator will fall back to generic Schema.org type-checking and at least flag obvious errors (datatype mismatches, missing @type, non-canonical @context).
