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

11 Replies, 1290 Views

I’ve been using yt dlp scrape videos proxy with datacenter proxies from StormProxies. They’re cheap and reliable for most scraping tasks.

I rotate proxies every 50 requests and use `--proxy` with a list file. Also, adding `--retries` and `--fragment-retries` helps with failed downloads.

VPNs are unnecessary unless you’re scraping super sensitive content.
