Whitelisting IP for youtube-dl #8598

What do you mean by our server key? youtube-dl does not use any kind of youtube APIs apart from those used by a webplayer. |

Sorry, meant youtube's api key in their console. So what I am understanding is if I am hitting the 429 request error even if i white list the IP in google's console that wont solve the problem. I have to run my requests through proxies then? |

Is there any way to send our server key with the request of the ip when scraping with youtube-dl? If not is it normally enough to just put the ip in the whitelist for the youtube data api? I still randomly keep getting 429's and from the gists I have seen that this is due to too many requests, but I have the ip in the youtube api data whitelist. So not sure if I am missing something.
