HTTP Error 404: Not Found when trying get stream #1060

oleksandr-shvab · 2021-07-21T12:35:32Z

Describe the bug
I need to get URL to upload the video on AWS. The code is simplest as possible

yt = YouTube(video_url)
streams = yt.streams

The video that I want to download: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo
On the line where we get streams, it returns the error urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found
It's happening not always around once at 2-3 requests.

AbdullahElrubi · 2021-07-21T16:22:14Z

I'm getting this error too now, I've an up and running app that has errors with all videos.
@tfdahlin please propose a fix for this issue

rishabh3354 · 2021-07-21T16:33:42Z

Same error happening for me as well
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found After trying 2-5 times, it will return 200. This is very annoying..Please help @tfdahlin

AbdullahElrubi · 2021-07-21T16:37:08Z

@rishabh3354 actually this is expected since YouTube always block apis like these and make updates on them from time to time.

rishabh3354 · 2021-07-21T20:07:59Z

@rishabh3354 actually this is expected since YouTube always block apis like these and make updates on them from time to time.

So there must be a solution for this.. Actually it is quite irritating.. please suggest a solution.

gustav-py · 2021-07-21T22:32:43Z

@ rishabh3354 na verdade, isso é esperado, já que o YouTube sempre bloqueia aplicativos como esses e faz atualizações neles de vez em quando.

Portanto, deve haver uma solução para isso .. Na verdade, é bastante irritante .. por favor, sugira uma solução.

This error already happened in the past, basically youtube updated the URLs, so PyTube couldn't download the video, at the time the solution was a new Pytube update, at the moment I'm not having problems in my application with this error, maybe that's just it is happening to some people.

oleksandr-shvab · 2021-07-22T07:31:42Z

If yesterday one of the 2-3 requests was a success, today all requests failed.
I tried to handle it in the cycle, and if the request fails then repeat the request. Else return stream, but now all requests fail.

KoubaPetr · 2021-07-22T09:21:02Z

Same here, yesterday happening with every second video, so I was bombing it in a loop till it worked out. Helped for few hours, but today I am unable to download a single video, not even from a different IP address.

Grateful for this active community, authors and contributors! Hope we can find a workaround/fix.

I just used it right now to download an entire playlist, and it worked (while pytube didn't).

Zeecka · 2021-07-23T13:03:31Z

Pytube is using the /get_video_info endpoint which seems to have change in the past days/hours: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67615278/get-video-info-youtube-endpoint-suddenly-returning-404-not-found (note: the &html5=1&c=TVHTML5&cver=6.20180913 parameters are already provided by pytube)

Do we have an update on this, since this being an awesome library and with a critical issue like this one, I am having an impact on an already running app. Request to please kindly provide an update on this issue. Also, thanks for the awesome work you guys are doing!

shohamtal · 2021-07-29T19:35:39Z

You can test Zeecka's experimental solution. Worked great for me:
pip install git+https://github.com/Zeecka/pytube@fix_1060

Had to change my code to explicit download mp4 format, otherwise it downloaded 3gp format:
YouTube("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kZqas35FTA").streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').first().download()

tfdahlin · 2021-07-29T22:03:57Z

Update: I made a couple slight changes to Zeecka's solution that should help with the age restrictions. I believe the current version will now work correctly for most age-restricted videos without needing to authenticate. There are certain age-restricted videos that are even more restricted than others that will require authentication, but these videos are very uncommon.

If you are able to, please install the experimental version, test it out, and let us know if there are any unexpected errors. If you run into an AgeRestrictedError exception, then you are probably testing against a video that has the higher level of age-restriction, and will need to authenticate. You can do that as follows:

yt = YouTube(url, use_oauth=True)

The first time that you run this code with the use_oauth argument, it will prompt you to visit a URL and input a code to authorize access to your account. This generates an authorization and refresh OAuth token, which are then stored on the machine running the code. Doing this introduces a potential security risk. Specifically, those tokens are scoped to YouTube, which means that if they get exposed, somebody could perform certain actions as though they were your account. Although this does not give direct access to your account, it does allow access to certain features. I'm a little fuzzy on exactly what this scope allows, but YouTube's public API states that the scope allows the token to Manage your YouTube account. If you do NOT want to store these locally, you can pass another argument, allow_oauth_cache=False to prevent them from being stored on disk.

You can install the experimental fix to test it with python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Zeecka/pytube@fix_1060, as @shohamtal says above.

gustav-py · 2021-07-29T23:34:33Z

Atualização: fiz algumas pequenas alterações na solução do Zeecka que devem ajudar com as restrições de idade. Acredito que a versão atual agora funcionará corretamente para a maioria dos vídeos com restrição de idade, sem a necessidade de autenticação. Há alguns vídeos com restrição de idade que são ainda mais restritas do que outros que vai exigem autenticação, mas esses vídeos são muito incomuns.

Se puder, instale a versão experimental, teste-a e informe-nos se houver algum erro inesperado. Se você encontrar uma AgeRestrictedErrorexceção, provavelmente está testando um vídeo que tem o nível mais alto de restrição de idade e precisará ser autenticado. Você pode fazer isso da seguinte maneira:
yt  =  YouTube ( url , use_oauth = True )
Na primeira vez que você executar este código com o use_oauthargumento, ele solicitará que você visite um URL e insira um código para autorizar o acesso à sua conta. Isso gera uma autorização e um token OAuth de atualização , que são armazenados na máquina que executa o código. Fazer isso apresenta um risco potencial de segurança . Especificamente, esses tokens têm como escopo o YouTube , o que significa que, se forem expostos, alguém pode realizar certas ações como se fossem sua conta. Embora isso não conceda acesso direto à sua conta, permite o acesso a certos recursos. Estou um pouco confuso sobre exatamente o que esse escopo permite, mas a API pública do YouTube afirma que o escopo permite que o tokenManage your YouTube account. Se você NÃO deseja armazená-los localmente, pode passar outro argumento, allow_oauth_cache=Falsepara evitar que sejam armazenados no disco.

Você pode instalar a correção experimental para testá-la python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Zeecka/pytube@fix_1060, como @shohamtal disse acima.

I'm glad you had a solution for the error 🙌🙌, I just have a doubt that is: If in my code I don't put the use_oauth, and put it to download normally nothing will be stored on my machine right?

tfdahlin · 2021-07-29T23:36:08Z

I'm glad you had a solution for the error 🙌🙌, I just have a doubt that is: If in my code I don't put the use_oauth, and put it to download normally nothing will be stored on my machine right?

That is correct. Nothing is stored on your machine if you don't include the use_oauth argument.

@rishabh3354 This behavior changed in v10.9.3, and should only happen if you're using the filename argument when downloading. When you specify a custom filename, you should now include the extension as part of the filename (which you can access with stream.subtype). If you do not use the filename argument, a filename will be automatically generated that correctly includes the extension.

Yes, it will, but it needs to be tested more thoroughly before I push it there, hence why I'm asking for help testing.

Zeecka · 2021-07-30T14:56:00Z

Just so you know, even if I did the initial PR, @tfdahlin was already aware of the workaround and worked on the biggest part of the fix (oauth / Age restriction bypass). Thank you for your work.

kettenbach-it · 2021-07-30T15:57:03Z

Yes, it will, but it needs to be tested more thoroughly before I push it there, hence why I'm asking for help testing.

Since my comment #1060 (comment) I downloaded a couple of more videos with the patch 1060 applied and all worked fine!

However, I just noticed something else on this topic:
As my code snippet already posted here #1060 (comment) shows:

videostreams = ytb.streams.filter(adaptive=True, only_video=True).order_by('resolution').desc()
for videostream in videostreams:
   try: 
     [...]
     videodownloadresult = videostream.download(gettempdir(), filename_prefix="video_")
   except urllib.error.HTTPError as error:
     [...] -> try next stream
[...]
-> same with audio

I use "try" and "except" when downloading streams.
The background is that I have noticed in the past that not all streams that streams.filter delivers are actually available. For whatever reason this is the case - maybe YT still processes these formats or similar - my code simply uses the stream with the next-lower resolution in this case.
I have always done well with this and my programme works very reliably.
This may be a tip for all those who are struggling with 404 errors....

One thing i noted in this fix. Youtube video info parsing is 2x faster than previous version (in my case it is, i am not sure about the changes but it is way faster) or am i the only one who is experiencing it?

Zeecka's fix branch is working for me too.

pip install git+https://github.com/Zeecka/pytube@fix_1060

Downloaded 150 videos no issues. It also seems faster to me.

Hey guys, I'm getting HTTP 410 Gone but the video is definitely not gone. Maybe a bug?

It looks like the 404 has been changed to a 410. You're seeing this issue because you do not have the experimental branch correctly installed (In your traceback, I see references to self.vid_info_url, which is no longer in the codebase in the experimental branch)

must-defend-500 · 2021-08-01T00:43:25Z

@tfdahlin good catch, Ive got python and python3 issues on my computer. I don't know why I can't intsall it from Github. I'll just wait for you guys to merge with master. Any sense when that might happen?

tfdahlin · 2021-08-01T04:32:12Z

@must-defend-500 I'm hoping to get to it tomorrow. I need to fix a bunch of unit tests, and it's taking a while (most of the old ones relied on data generated by the old get_vid_info url, so now that objects are being created in a different way, its causing issues with our mock objects)

rishabh3354 · 2021-08-02T08:34:12Z

One thing i notice, i am able to download age restricted video from pytube. And when i am trying to download same video from youtube-dl, it is giving me error. youtube-dl currently not handling age restricted videos. but pytube does. great job @tfdahlin

HACKER097 · 2021-08-02T13:58:15Z

You can test Zeecka's experimental solution. Worked great for me:
pip install git+https://github.com/Zeecka/pytube@fix_1060

Had to change my code to explicit download mp4 format, otherwise it downloaded 3gp format:
YouTube("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kZqas35FTA").streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').first().download()

I've been testing it a bit, and captions do not work with the experimental solution.

>>> from pytube import YouTube
>>> yt = YouTube('http://youtube.com/watch?v=2lAe1cqCOXo')
>>> yt.captions
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/hacker097/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytube/__main__.py", line 299, in captions

  File "/home/hacker097/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pytube/__main__.py", line 291, in caption_tracks
    return [pytube.Caption(track) for track in raw_tracks]

    self.name = caption_track["name"]["simpleText"]

@must-defend-500

I don't know why I can't intsall it from Github.

try pip uninstall pytube first, make sure the old version is gone. worked for me

* User InnerTube in place of `get_video_info` url * Added some additional base parameters for innertube requests. * Added Oauth support for innertube client * Add exception for age-restricted videos which can no longer be accessed without using auth. * Carved out and simplified code where possible due to API changes. * Added renderer catch -- fixes #1068 * Additional channel name support for URL-encoded names. * Updated test mocks, removed region-locked test because that functionality no longer works.

tfdahlin · 2021-08-03T23:11:28Z

The fix for this has been pushed to pypi as v11.0.0, so you should be able to install it normally with python -m pip install --upgrade pytube
