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:

  File "C:\Users\Madjid\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\app2.py", line 6, in <module>
    yt = YouTube(link)

    self.vid_info_raw = request.get(self.vid_info_url)

Open CommandPrompt/Powershell or your OS equivalent as an 'Administrator':

  1. Uninstall the pytube library using (pip uninstall pytube)
  2. Clear the environment cache memory (pip cache purge)
  3. Install pytube again (pip install pytube).

I started a personal project a while ago that downloads YT videos (MP4's), and I ran into the same issue, among others. All of the answers were helpful, but it took like 2-3 of them combined to resolve my issue:

First, I had to download Git For Windows: (https://git-scm.com/download/win) Then, I downgraded my already installed PyTube package with the below command. This installs PyTube 10.9.3:

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

Finally, I re-installed the latest version of PyTube (this command installs the latest version):

`pip install --upgrade pytube`

Not sure exactly, what causes PyTube to flip out when you first install, but downgrading, then upgrading worked for me.

For any wondering, final-product code is as seen below. Videos downloaded at 720p, with their title as the name of the saved file.

from pytube import YouTube 
  
#where to save 
SAVE_PATH = "C:/YOUR/DESIRED/FILE/PATH/" 
  
#link of the video to be downloaded 
link = input("Enter URL >> ")
try:
    yt = YouTube(link)
    mp4_files = yt.streams.filter(file_extension="mp4")
    mp4_720p_files = mp4_files.get_by_resolution("720p")
    mp4_720p_files.download(SAVE_PATH) 
except Exception as e: 
    print("ERROR: ", e)

This is a bug of the pytube version. You might install an older version of it. Upgrade pytube to 11+ will resolve the issue.

  • Open the terminal and execute the following command to upgrade the version

    pip install --upgrade pytube

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.

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

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
