What are YouTube Proxies?
Youtube Proxies are high-performance servers designed to facilitate rapid and reliable download and scraping of Youtube video and audio content.
They are optimized to handle bulk video downloads and large-scale scraping, ensuring smooth operation without delays or interruptions.
How to get started?
To start using our YouTube proxies, contact our Sales team. They'll provide you with:
A dedicated endpoint
Username and password
Port number (default is 30000)
Integration with (yt_dlp) tool for video downloads
Here are examples of using yt-dlp with our YouTube proxies for video / audio data scraping.
Single URL scraping
Adding a -test parameter to the username allows users to test the connection setting.
Command Line
yt-dlp --proxy username-test:password@endpoint:30000 \ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5rvZQMcMss"
Multiple URLs with Different IPs
For optimal performance, make sure each video is downloaded using a separate IP address. That is done ou can do it by generating a unique session ID is for each request, which effectively assigns a new IP address for each download.
Command line
# First video with one IP
yt-dlp --proxy username-$((1 + RANDOM % 100000)):password@endpoint:30000 \ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5rvZQMcMss"
# Second video with different IP
yt-dlp --proxy username-$((1 + RANDOM % 100000)):password@endpoint:30000 \ "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLwlGsRhNIU"
