YouTube PoToken Generator
Introduction
This program outputs the mysterious pair { visitorData, poToken }
, with the help of js-dom
.
How it works
Only one network request is made to get a fresh copy of visitorData
.
Then poToken
is generated with pre-downloaded scripts from YouTube and some magic provided in lib/inject.js
No real browser is required to install.
How to use
yarn add youtube-po-token-generator
# Or
npm install youtube-po-token-generator
See examples
for simple usages.
const { generate } = require('youtube-po-token-generator')
generate().then(console.log, console.error)
// => { visitorData: '...', poToken: '...' }
Require lib/task
directly if you have already prepared your visitorData
.
const { createTask } = require('youtube-po-token-generator/lib/task')
const visitorData = '...'
createTask(visitorData).then(task => task.start).then(console.log, console.error)
// => { poToken: '...' }

More
Debugging the source code from YouTube was a pain.
Pausing at key parts of the
poToken
generation may lead to misleading branches.Modification on the injected code from
botguardData.program
may lead to invalid tokens.Improper userAgent would lead to valid or invalid poToken being generated randomly, like a lottery.
