Youtube cookier can help you get cookies and headers from youtube easily. In that way, you can bypass those annoying 429 Errors from ytdl.
Usage:
const ytcr = require("yt-cookier");
const start = async () => {
const browser = await ytcr.getBrowser({
executablePath: "", // Leaving empty so puppeteer can fetch path
headless: false, // Normally we use headless
timeout: 0, // Set timeout
});
const log = await ytcr.login(browser, {
email: "[email protected]", //Gmail address
pass: "xxx", // Gmail password
OTPtoken: "xxx", // Your 32-key token when setting up TOTP, please remove spaces
});
if (log === "succeed") {
const headers = await ytcr.getHeaders(
browser,
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyBSYATyIUM"
);
const cookies = await ytcr.getCookies(
browser,
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyBSYATyIUM"
);
console.log("headers\n" + "=============================\n", headers);
console.log("cookies\n" + "=============================\n", cookies);
} else {
console.log("login failed");
}
};
start()
Using with ytdl-core
const ytcr = require("ytcr");
const fs = require("node:fs");
const ytdl = require("ytdl-core");
const url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyBSYATyIUM"
const start = async () => {
const browser = await ytcr.getBrowser({
executablePath: "", // Leaving empty so puppeteer can fetch path
headless: true, // Normally we use headless
timeout: 0, // Set timeout
});
const log = await ytcr.login(browser, {
email: "xxx", //Gmail address
pass: "xxx", // Gmail password
OTPtoken: "xxx", // Your 32-key token when setting up TOTP, please remove spaces
});
if (log === "succeed") {
let headers = await ytcr.getHeaders(
browser,
url
);
const cookies = await ytcr.getCookies(
browser,
url
);
reqHeader = headers;
reqHeader["Cookie"] = cookies;
console.log(reqHeader); // Headers sent to YouTube
// Sending ytdl request
ytdl(url, {
requestOptions: {
headers: reqHeader,
},
}).pipe(fs.createWriteStream("video.mp4"));
} else {
console.log("login failed");
}
};
start();
