Pytube is broken now, try pytubefix instead.

For Windows: pip install pytubefix

For Linux/Mac: pip3 install pytubefix

Instead you can do like this

from pytube import YouTube

yt = YouTube("<Your URL>")

audio = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()

audio.download()

And change the following file in virtual environment folder (venv)

venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytube/cipher.py

locate the function "get_throttling_function_name" in cipher.py and change its function_patterns to this

def get_throttling_function_name(js: str) -> str:
    function_patterns = [
        r'a\.[a-zA-Z]\s*&&\s*\([a-z]\s*=\s*a\.get\("n"\)\)\s*&&.*?\|\|\s*([a-z]+)',
        r'\([a-z]\s*=\s*([a-zA-Z0-9$]+)(\[\d+\])\([a-z]\)',
    ]

How to download audio youtube through pytube source

solution to error in case if you want to use approach that described in first link
