Which proxy service works best for this api / youtube.com?

I'm a brightdata customer but I tried both residential and data center proxies, they both lead to 403. I tried scraperAPI and rotating proxies and after 200 attemps with residentatial proxies, still getting 403... ouch

Anyone has recommendations?

Anyone can answer this question please?
OP, do you have the answer?

I know some proxy services block youtube, and you need to pass through some hoops with KYC and stuff, but appart from that, i would love to know what people are using?

Hi, I used webshare's static residential proxies. You pay $6/mo and you get 20 proxies. Out of those, I usually got 10-15 working ones for YT. There is no KYC from what I remember. You just must make sure to not burn them because you cannot ask for a new one. Hope it helps.

transcript = YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id, languages=[lang], proxies=proxy)

Thank you for that, that's also what i ended up using. So far it's enough for my usage. Thanks
