Oh my python guys, please help me. One of my python projects suddenly stopped working for no reason. I'm using pytube module and when i try to run the code i get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\giova\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pytube\contrib\search.py", line 94, in fetch_and_parse
sections = raw_results['contents']['twoColumnSearchResultsRenderer'][
KeyError: 'twoColumnSearchResultsRenderer' fetch_and_parse
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\giova\OneDrive\Desktop\Coding\Python\youtubeapp.py", line 38, in <module>
videoSearch()
File "C:\Users\giova\OneDrive\Desktop\Coding\Python\youtubeapp.py", line 21, in videoSearch
availableResults = len(vid.results)
File "C:\Users\giova\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pytube\contrib\search.py", line 62, in results
videos, continuation = self.fetch_and_parse() results
File "C:\Users\giova\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pytube\contrib\search.py", line 97, in fetch_and_parse fetch_and_parse
sections = raw_results['onResponseReceivedCommands'][0][
KeyError: 'onResponseReceivedCommands'
This is not even the only error i get, sometimes i got "http error 410: gone" error or some like this. I haven't changed the code for about two weeks (it was working two weeks ago) and it stopped working. I don't know what is happening to my code.
This is the full code:
from pytube import Search, YouTube
print("================================\n What do you want to do?: ")
availableChoose = [
'1 Search videos',
'...',
'================================'
]
for choose in availableChoose:
print(choose)
userChoose = input()
userChoose = userChoose.lower()
def videoSearch():
userSearch = input("Enter the title of the video you want to search: ")
vid = Search(userSearch)
availableResults = len(vid.results)
strAvailableResults = str(availableResults)
print("The available results are " + strAvailableResults)
vidResultsList = vid.results
vidResultsList = str(vidResultsList)
vidResultsList = vidResultsList.replace("<pytube.__main__.YouTube object: videoId=", "")
vidResultsList = vidResultsList.replace(">", "")
vidResultsList = vidResultsList.replace("[", "")
vidResultsList = vidResultsList.replace("]", "")
vidResultsList = vidResultsList.replace(" ", "")
vidResultsList = vidResultsList.split(',')
for vidResultsObject in vidResultsList:
vidLink = ("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + vidResultsObject)
vidTempObject = YouTube(vidLink)
print(vidTempObject.title + " - " + vidLink)
if(userChoose == "search" or userChoose == "search video" or userChoose == "search videos" or userChoose == "1"):
videoSearch()
pytube's 11.0.0 API docs list the Search.fetch_and_parse() method.
The corresponding source-code shows that it internally handles a KeyError for onResponseReceivedCommands:
# Initial result is handled by try block, continuations by except block
try:
sections = raw_results['contents']['twoColumnSearchResultsRenderer'][
'primaryContents']['sectionListRenderer']['contents']
except KeyError:
sections = raw_results['onResponseReceivedCommands'][0][
'appendContinuationItemsAction']['continuationItems']
This method is an inner one, that is used by your vid.results call.
Might be, that the Youtube API has changed there response and your version of pytube is not fitting anymore.
See pytube issue #1082 and issue #1106.
tfdahlin's fork has a bugfixed version. It was already proposed as Pull-Request to the project:
