Using YouTube Cookies to Bypass API/Bot Restrictions

Open tas33n opened this issue 6 months ago • 0 comments

YouTube has added restrictions that block bots and APIs, requiring login for downloads or scraping.

To bypass this, you can use cookies from an authenticated session:

Log in to YouTube, then extract your cookies using cookie editor, the same extension used for fb cookies.

Create a ytdl.json file in your project's root directory and paste the cookies in JSON format.

thats all, happy boting..
