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

11 Replies, 1460 Views

Hey! I’ve been using yt dlp scrape videos proxy with residential proxies from Oxylabs. They’re a bit pricier but worth it for avoiding blocks.

I rotate proxies every 100 requests or so, and it’s been smooth sailing. For config, I use `--proxy` with a list file and `--geo-bypass` to avoid geo-restrictions.

Also, check out Scrapy if you’re into more advanced scraping setups.
