Best Practices for Using yt-dlp to Scrape Videos with a Proxy: Any Tips or Tools?

8 Replies, 1516 Views

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I tried Bright Data and it’s been way better than the free proxies I was using. Still getting some yt-dlp errors though, so I’ll try the `--force-ipv4` and `--no-check-certificate` flags.

Quick question: anyone know if rotating proxies automatically is better than sticking to one? I’m scraping a lot of videos, and I’m worried about getting blocked.

Also, shoutout to the person who mentioned updating yt-dlp—totally forgot to do that. Gonna try it now! Cheers!
