Captcha Issue

[46cv8]

Hey Guys,

Is there any intention to add a provision for avoiding captchas with this tool? Like providing a youtube login or cookie or something. Recently I've been unable to use the tool because all the pages I request using the come back with 429 captcha required pages. I tried completing one captcha from a privacy mode browser from my IP, but it didn't seem to help. I'm guessing it needs a cookie for a session that has completed a captcha.

In my code I either use browser cookie 3 to get the YouTube cookies or I use proxies after 4 requests using the default ip.

Thanks for that tip! It got me a bit closer it's now getting some data back rather than a captcha unfortunately it keeps saying 0 comments when there are actually more than 0. I'll have to try and debug more later if I have time. I wonder if they changed something but are only deploying the updates regionally so it's still working for everyone else.

The actual youtube api give you a quota of 10,000 requests a day https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/quota_and_compliance_audits

you can see the costs for each service here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/determine_quota_cost

They are pretty cheap for listing comments. With 100 comments per requests, you can get 1,000,000 comments a day with no captcha/proxies
