Description

Please kindly fix this issue or provide a valid solution that does not require a verified google account?

Note: After the download with this script failed, I noticed it's possible to download this age-restricted youtube video using some online youtube-downloader websites without any access to a google account, while this script can't download it, I believe the issue is within this script itself. Please kindly fix this issue?

Tnx and best of luck

@baptx commented on GitHub (Oct 7, 2021):

@89z I did not really understand what your tool does exactly by "Anonymous API access", it just does the following HTTP request that you originally mentioned, by using an API key of someone else? Which means the API key could expire after some time?

POST /youtubei/v1/player HTTP/1.1
Host: www.youtube.com
X-Goog-Api-Key: AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8

{"context":{"client":{"clientName":"ANDROID","clientScreen":"EMBED",
"clientVersion":"16.05"},"thirdParty":{"embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com"}},
"videoId":"nSIPR2ZrfKQ"}

I would prefer using my own API key, to not rely on the key of someone else and I don't know if it could affect my security or privacy, for example by keeping a history of watched videos or giving access to my logged in YouTube account using the API key :D

But the yt-dlp fork mentioned by @nicolaasjan is using Python so I could take the patch from here if someone can tell me where it is exactly. For the moment, I was able to use youtube-dl by using the --cookies option like mentioned here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/29811#issuecomment-900939289

Update: the API key can be found in the source code of youtube.com ("INNERTUBE_API_KEY":"AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8"), like mentioned in the link https://github.com/89z/mech/tree/master/youtube#how-to-get-x-goog-api-key shared by 89z (I don't know why his 2 replies were deleted). It looks like the API key is the same for everybody.
We can test the HTTP request in a web browser console (F12 shortcut) on youtube.com like this:

fetch("https://www.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/player", {
    "headers": {
        "X-Goog-Api-Key": "AIzaSyAO_FJ2SlqU8Q4STEHLGCilw_Y9_11qcW8"
    },
    "body": `{"context":{"client":{"clientName":"ANDROID","clientScreen":"EMBED",
"clientVersion":"16.05"},"thirdParty":{"embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com"}},
"videoId":"nSIPR2ZrfKQ"}`,
    "method": "POST"
});

The HTTP response with media links will be displayed in the network tab of the developer tools. The 144p, 360p and 720p formats are available with video and audio combined so we don't need any tool for these and can watch or download them directly from the web browser. For other formats like 1080p, we need to download video and audio separately, then merge them with ffmpeg / avconv: ffmpeg -i videoplayback.mp4 -i videoplayback.m4a -c copy videoplayback_with_audio.mp4.

I don't know where this patch is and if it can be applied easily in youtube-dl.
But maybe the maintainer of yt-dlp - @pukkandan - can tell you.

uh, the patch cannot be easily to applied. yt-dlp's youtube.py code has already diverged significantly from youtube-dl

If you want to try re-implementing the bypass yourself, the basic idea is that you tell youtube that you are an WEB_EMBEDDED_PLAYER rather than WEB. Ref: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/574#issuecomment-887171136. Also, a separate bypass is needed for EU. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/600#issue-957302784

@pukkandan @nicolaasjan indeed the HTTP request (using JavaScript fetch method) mentioned in the update of my previous comment does not work for the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr381pDsSsA, there is an error message "Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner.".
So I guess the tool of @89z does not work either for this video because we need to log in to YouTube before using cookies? Can you share the HTTP request or tell me where we can find it on YouTube? When visiting https://studio.youtube.com and viewing a video I uploaded, I can see an HTTP request starting with https://studio.youtube.com/youtubei/v1/creator/get_creator_videos but it seems to work for my videos only because replacing the value of videoIds with the video ID of someone else gives an error CREATOR_ENTITY_STATUS_FAILURE.
For the previous HTTP request using the embed technique, I noticed we can find it on a URL like https://www.youtube.com/embed/lqYeIe1KdCY with the network monitor of the web browser developer tools.

Update: the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr381pDsSsA works with youtube-dl by giving cookies without the fix https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/pull/600#issue-957302784 (I am in EU / France using a VPN hosted at OVH in France). If there is a way to make it work without cookies, it would be nice to share the HTTP request.

tl;dr for people finding this: use nicolaasjan's suggestion above for a working no-cookies fork of youtube-dl (tested in EU)

I also receive this message, despite I include lines with --username and --password in my config with the correct values.

$ youtube-dl -wx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKnPjDu2XNk

In the example above I've commented out the password in config and entered it manually.

P.S. you can easily check that the video is present. ;-)
