ValueError: Unable to find token seed! Did https://translate.google.com change?

[Mohammed-Shoaib]

After I send 10-15 requests, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "text_to_speech.py", line 25, in <module>
    text_to_speech(data)
  File "text_to_speech.py", line 17, in text_to_speech

    "Unable to find token seed! Did https://translate.google.com change?"
ValueError: Unable to find token seed! Did https://translate.google.com change?

I thought this might be a bug in the latest release, i.e., 2.1.1 so I tried 1.2.0 and I still get the same error.

I also thought it could be that my IP address is being blocked. I read up on the Quotas & limits and I don't think that should be an issue as well.

• Characters per request: 67 (on average), never more than the allowed 5000
• Requests per minute: never exceeds 15 since I get the error, allowed 300

System information:

• Operating System: Manjaro Linux
• Kernel: Linux 5.8.11-1-MANJARO
• Architecture: x86-64

Thank you for your timely help. :relaxed: :sparkles:

Please forgive my ignorance. I am getting this error when using the below card:

entity: media_player.living_room_speaker
hold_action:
action: none
show_icon: true
show_name: true
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: tts.google_translate_say
service_data:
    entity_id: media_player.living_room_speaker
    message: Please remember to close the back door!
type: entity-button

However, I am still able to make the same device talk successfully by using below:

Call Service:  tts.google_translate_say
entity_id: media_player.living_room_speaker
message: Please remember to close the back door!

I'm curious why does one work, but not the other? They are both making my Google Nest speak. Will I be able to use the card that's failing now in an upcoming Home Assistant version without changing anything in my configuration?

Just closing this, as it was kept for discussion after the issue was fixed and then bit of an HA direction talk but it's starting to derail a bit.

So cool to see this go to HA, thanks for your work all. I'll sure try to contribute when I can!

Has the Error been fixed? Should I just upgrade gTTS ans gTTS-token?

Upgrading the versions worked for me.

Uninstall and Reinstall of gTTS worked For me.

Happening with me also, using Python 3.9 on Windows 10. Used this library before and not issues, check the code here: https://github.com/afonsosantos/alexis/blob/master/main.py

The error:

EDIT: after some analysis, seems to be crashing on the tts.save line as below:
