for future reference: there’s a dedicated template for issues related to the main instance.

if the problem is fixed on your side, close this issue as completed.

for local developemt it's still throwing error as shown in attached screen shot

[nikunjmishra1998]

curl --location 'http://localhost:9000/api/json' \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' \ --header 'sec-ch-ua: "Google Chrome";v="117", "Not;A=Brand";v="8", "Chromium";v="117"' \ --header 'sec-ch-ua-mobile: ?0' \ --header 'sec-ch-ua-platform: "Windows"' \ --header 'sec-fetch-dest: empty' \ --header 'sec-fetch-mode: cors' \ --header 'sec-fetch-site: cross-site' \ --data '{ "url": "https://youtu.be/fdhEPblKfdY", "aFormat": "mp3", "isAudioOnly": true, "isNoTTWatermark": true, "vQuality": "720" }'

Above Curl I am using

does main instance work or not?

local instance may need a google account token to work

[nikunjmishra1998]

Yes, Main instance worked.

but till before an 2 hour ago local instance also was worked without any google account token

[wukko]

then youtube might have changed something regarding your ip range (i suppose?)

it should not because I tried to develop today after so long. And I also not made that much amount of request to youtube

The same happened to me too. I guess YouTube updated something recently as now without a cookie nothing work. So just use cookies ig

[nikunjmishra1998]

No, It's Youtubei.js Package update issue. They have updated their package yesterday. So Use the 10.1.0 latest version and it's working without cookie

[wukko]

we also updated cobalt to be compatible with the new version yesterday. if you’re running cobalt in a docker container with watchtower, it should’ve updated itself by now.
