How to fix 'ffmpeg server returned 403 forbidden (access denied)?

I'm writing a website to convert youtube videos using NodeJS. I am using a package to convert them (horizon-youtube-mp3). The package works, however, I'm having problems converting. Whenever I try to convert a youtube link, it will return 'server returned 403 forbidden access'. This error happens in 95% of the links. Some links actually work and convert correctly, but only a few.

I tried running the script on 3 different computers running 3 different OS's. My VPS, my laptop and my home PC. I looked on the web but couldn't find anything useful.

So yeah, I completely suck since I really don't understand why one video would convert, and the other won't. Even if the region of the video is the same.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

You need to get new link. I just had the same mistake. I copied a new link to the same file (they were different when I compared them) and everything worked.
