[JuanBindez]

Hello, an alternative to pytube is pytubefix, its fork for bug fixes and new features

pip install pytubefix

from pytubefix import YouTube
from pytubefix.cli import on_progress
     
url = input("url >")
     
yt = YouTube(url, on_progress_callback = on_progress)
print(yt.title)
     
ys = yt.streams.get_audio_only()
ys.download(mp3=True)

Thank you, this fixes the age restriction issues.

I still have issues:

import scrapetube
from pytubefix import YouTube

path = 'C:/Users/jefre/Desktop/Youtube/Videos/Scripp/'
channelid = input("Type YouTube channel ID:\n")
list = []

url = "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/"
videos = scrapetube.get_channel(channelid, content_type="shorts")

for video in videos:
    url1 = url+str(video['videoId'])
    print(url1)
    list.append(url1)
for link in list:
    try:
        YouTube(link).streams.get_highest_resolution().download(output_path=path)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error occurred: {e} Trying next...")
        continue 
print("Done!")

Output:
...
Error occurred: Video ID = O3DRRro6P98: is age restricted, and can't be accessed without logging in. Trying next...
