Captura de tela de 2023-05-01 23-19-55 I changed the 78 line’s removing client=‘ANDROID’ and paste client=‘WEB’ and now it’s working pretty well and not even slow as mentioned for other people.

    'ANDROID_EMBED': {
        'context': {
            'client': {
                'clientName': 'ANDROID_EMBEDDED_PLAYER',
                'clientVersion': '17.31.35',
                'clientScreen': 'EMBED'
            }
        },
        'api_key': 'AIzaSyCjc_pVEDi4qsv5MtC2dMXzpIaDoRFLsxw'
    }

This works well for me now…

Also, I put ‘ANDROID_EMBED’ to (about 80 line): def __init__(self, client='ANDROID_EMBED', use_oauth=False, allow_cache=True):

What about these settings?

These settings (innertube line 41 and 60) work for me. No other changes are needed.

'ANDROID': {
    'context': {
        'client': {
            'clientName': 'ANDROID',
            'clientVersion': '17.31.35',
        }
    },
    'api_key': 'AIzaSyA8eiZmM1FaDVjRy-df2KTyQ_vz_yYM39w' 
},

'ANDROID_EMBED': {
    'context': {
        'client': {
            'clientName': 'ANDROID_EMBEDDED_PLAYER',
            'clientVersion': '17.31.35',
            'clientScreen': 'EMBED'
        }
    },
    'api_key': 'AIzaSyCjc_pVEDi4qsv5MtC2dMXzpIaDoRFLsxw'
}

But another issue (for some of the video): … is age restricted, and can’t be accessed without logging in.

The download worked for me when using this key (taken from the array at the beginning of the file): AIzaSyA8eiZmM1FaDVjRy-df2KTyQ_vz_yYM39w Works without use_oauth and client type substitution

Unfortunately, any changing of API Key leads to urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden…

If you install both pytube3 and pytube with pip, certain files get overwritten in unintended ways. You should be able to fix this problem if you do the following: Follow step by step

Run pip uninstall pytube
Run pip uninstall pytube3
Run python -m pip install git+https://github.com/nficano/pytube This should uninstall the conflicting versions of pytube, and install the most recent code from this repository.
