Best Practices for Using yt-dlp to Scrape Videos with a Proxy? Tips & Recommendations Needed!

11 Replies, 1357 Views

I’ve been using yt dlp scrape videos proxy for a while too, and rotating proxies is key to avoid getting blocked. I use a mix of residential and datacenter proxies, but residential ones seem to work better for avoiding throttling.

For config, I’d recommend setting up a proxy list and using the `--proxy` flag with yt dlp. Also, tools like ProxyMesh or BrightData are great for managing proxy rotations.

VPN + proxy might be overkill unless you’re dealing with super strict blocks. Just my two cents!
