Hi @wwestfall91,

the error is already in the error message: Client Error: Too Many Requests for url. There are plenty of threads on this issue. You can find more information here: https://github.com/jdepoix/youtube-transcript-api/discussions/176

I will close this now, as there is nothing we can do here.
