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

8 Replies, 1443 Views

I’ve been using yt dlp scrape videos proxy setups for a while, and yeah, free proxies are a no-go. I’ve had good luck with Soax. It’s affordable and works well with yt-dlp.

For errors, try running yt-dlp with `--proxy` and `--retries 10`. Sometimes it’s just a temporary issue.

Also, make sure your proxy isn’t blocked by YouTube. Some free ones are already on their blacklist.
