Downloading some videos like Taylor Swift's will raise 403 Forbidden

[matthewcamilizer]

I don't know if downloading this video is Premium only? But it looks like premium videos cannot be downloaded through the package?

from pytubefix import YouTube from pytubefix.cli import on_progress

Cruel Summer official video

url = "https://youtu.be/ic8j13piAhQ"

yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)

ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution() ys.download()

Same issue. After I tried other videos which can be downloaded, I noticed their download URLs serve with different ways. These URLs allow users to access video file through it, while URLs of videos like Taylor Swift's do not allow users to access video file through it. Maybe Google added other authorizations to these videos.

You can use this snippet to output download URL

url = input("> ")

yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)

ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution() print(ys.url)

It worked perfectly for me here

>>> from pytubefix import YouTube
>>> from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
>>> 
>>> 
>>> url = 'https://youtu.be/ic8j13piAhQ'
>>> 
>>> yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
>>> 
>>> ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
>>> print(ys.url)

It is working fine at my ending too, with pytubefix 6.8.1.

I tested with this code:

from pytubefix import YouTube

url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic8j13piAhQ" # TS

yt = YouTube(url)

ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
print(ys.url)

Thanks. I did it with a different IP. Maybe my original IP is not allowed for some URLs.
