Hi, downloading videos from the temporary googlevideo.com link which is returned in the formats field of the JSON response is not working anymore.

Hi! Thanks for reporting!
We'll try to fix this. I'll notify you here when it's done

We're running into a similar issue. Is there a fix for this coming soon?

Sviatozar Petrenko (svpetrenko)
Hi! Not yet, but we'll try to prioritize it more

Is there an ETA?

Sviatozar Petrenko (svpetrenko)
Hi! No, but we have started working on it

Same question again. What's the latest? This is a proprietary managed by Apify. Other libraries already exist for this on npm. I have to use apify and other big libraries to get the data we need right now. Very annoying and questions why we use apify compared to cheaper competitors that don't have managed actors

Hi again! We have been working on it all this time, but we now see that we most likely won't be able to implement this in the foreseeable future here, because it would require significantly more resources and most likely go against our current pricing and acceptable performance. Sorry for this. For now I can only recommend to use yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) - it is great at generating these URLs
I'll keep the issue open in case we come up with a suitable solution. For now we'll most likely just make the formats
output empty and remove the warnings from the logs
