Pytube: urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 410: Gone

I've been getting this error on several programs for now. I've tried upgrading pytube, reinstalling it, tried some fixes, changed URLs and code, but nothing seems to work.

from pytube import YouTube

#ask for the link from user
link = input("Enter the link of YouTube video you want to download:  ")
yt = YouTube(link)

#Showing details
print("Title: ",yt.title)
print("Number of views: ",yt.views)
print("Length of video: ",yt.length)
print("Rating of video: ",yt.rating)
#Getting the highest resolution possible
ys = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()

#Starting download
print("Downloading...")
ys.download()
print("Download completed!!")

and this is the error code:

    yt = YouTube(link)

Try to upgrade, there is a fix in version 11.0.0:

python -m pip install --upgrade pytube

If you haven't already, install Git on your PC: https://git-scm.com/download/win

Then open the command window as admin and install this patch:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Zeecka/pytube@fix_1060

I build mine from start to bottom, and ran into to same issue here are the code and steps.

Code:

from pytube import YouTube
from sys import argv



link = argv[1]
yt = YouTube(link)



yd = yt.streams.get_highest_resolution()

yd.download(r'C:/Users/adam/OneDrive/Desktop/video')

got error:

urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 410: Gone

STEPS:

  1. python -m pip install --upgrade pytube

  2. python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/pytube/pytube

  3. Ran as ADMIN.

worked fine!

I am answering this because the solutions I found on the internet didn't work for me (the ones above too).

I even tried to install an other fix done ssuwani on GitHub using:

pip install git+https://github.com/ssuwani/pytube

(I use python 3.8.10 and Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS)

I just used sudo su to enter admin mode, ran my program and it worked. To be honest, I don't know why, but if it can help that's nice :)

Warning, don't enter any commands when you're in admin mode because you could mess up your system
