I was recently downloading a list of Youtube URLs…all was working until today where I started receiving this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Everywhere I searched, I’m only finding the get_throttle_function error, but this seems to be a new issue. I attempted to run the script from another IP address, just to make sure it had nothing to do with my host machine, and I got the same error from the other host machine as well.

I’ve ran python3 -m pip install –upgrade pytube multiple times to verify I have the most current package, no luck.

Here is an example of my code:

#!/bin/python3

import pytube

f = open('urls.txt', 'r')
url = f.readlines()
for i in url:
        yt = pytube.YouTube(i)
        stream = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()
        stream.download("/var/www/html/tmp")
f.close()

Have anyone ran into this issue? If not, can I please get some help or direction on what is going on?
