Yea, the login part is more difficult, because google uses a lot of different methods to make sure you’re not a bot.

But you should just be using your gmail account (the same thing you would use to log into chrome, for example) to login.

I’ll have to wait till I’m at a computer to look into the SSL error.

gotcha! I went ahead & download the raw data.

do i still need to verify myself before changing the non-default directory for the data?

ghost commented 5 years ago

i needed to install python certificates : )

and this is where i am at — any ideas? thanks again for your help!

Jessime commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I’m a little bit confused. Did you manage to get the raw data files downloaded or not yet?

ghost commented 5 years ago

SSL error was due to python certificates that needed to be downloaded — resolved.

Currently getting an Error 400: Bad Request upon entering the username + password.

Anything I can do to resolve there? Or, since I have the raw watch history data, can I circumvent the username/password step at all?

Jessime commented 5 years ago

If you give the -o / --out flag a directory that contains the raw data (the program checks this by looking for a file named 00001.info.json), then you don't need any credentials, since the download step is skipped.
