python - Why my YouTube video downloader only downloads some videos and for other videos it shows keyerror like URL and cipher?

I am trying to make a YouTube video downloader using Python pytube3 but it doesn't download all the videos. Some videos download very easily but some videos won't download and instead of download it shows error:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:UsersarunPycharmProjectsYTDownloadervenvlibsite-packagespytubeextract.py", line 297, in apply_descrambler
    for format_item in formats
  File "C:UsersarunPycharmProjectsYTDownloadervenvlibsite-packagespytubeextract.py", line 297, in <listcomp>
    for format_item in formats
KeyError: 'url'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

This is an error in the file extract.py from pytube.

  1. Go to the location where the package was installed. If you don't know where, run the command

    pip show pytube3
    

    And it'll give you something like this:

pip show package

We can see Location: c:usersiagoanaconda3libsite-packages.

  1. Go to that location, open the folder pytube and the file extract.py

pythube location

  1. In the file, line no. 306 or 301, you will find parse_qs(formats[i]["cipher"]). If yes, then change "cipher" to "signatureCipher" (make sure 'C' is capital).

    So, you'll initially have

     cipher_url = [
                     parse_qs(formats[i]["cipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)
                 ]
    

    but it should be

     cipher_url = [
                     parse_qs(formats[i]["signatureCipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)
                 ]
    

pytube extract cypher error fixed

  1. Run the following script to see it working

     # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
     """
     Created on Mon Jun 15 12:21:49 2020
    
     @author: tiago
     """
     from pytube import YouTube
    
     video_url = "https://youtu.be/gp5tziO5lXg" # YouTube video URL
     youtube = YouTube(video_url)
     video = youtube.streams.first()
     video.download("C:/Users/tiago/Desktop/videos/") # Path where to store the video
    

You'll then see the video downloaded in that folder
