Max retries exceeded with url: /watch?v=B65-Ef9kHEc&t=4s

Hi,

I am trying to use YouTubeTranscriptApi and getting the following max retries exceeded. Interestingly youtube.com is not a whitelisted website list.

requests.exceptions.ProxyError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.youtube.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /watch?v=B65-Ef9kHEc&t=4s (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden')))

Can someone help me in resolving this error?

Regards, D, Ravi Theja.

@ravitheking Hi, If you would like the above domain to be considered for the whitelist , please send us a link to the API documentation. Please note we can only whitelist sites with an official public API.

@hmalik hi! Could you please put this API to whitelist? https://python-yahoofinance.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html

@travelwithtagir Please visit this help page, you'll find a link to the form which you can fill in to request the allowlist addition.
