Youtube transcript API not working on server

$

I have a Django web app.This code works perfectly fine on localhost but stops working when I run it on cloud (DigitalOcean) App Platform.

from youtube_transcript_api import YouTubeTranscriptApi, TranscriptsDisabled, NoTranscriptFound, VideoUnavailabledef transcribe(video_url):    video_id = video_url.split("v=")[-1]    logger.debug("Extracted video ID: %s", video_id)    try:        transcript_list = YouTubeTranscriptApi.list_transcripts(video_id)        transcript = None        for transcript_info in transcript_list:            try:                transcript = transcript_info.fetch()                break            except Exception as e:                logger.warning("Error fetching transcript: %s", e, exc_info=True)                continue        if transcript is None:            logger.error("No transcripts available for this video.")            return "No transcripts available for this video."    except TranscriptsDisabled as e:        logger.error("Transcripts are disabled for this video. %s", e, exc_info=True)        return "Transcripts are disabled for this video."    except NoTranscriptFound:        logger.error("No transcript found for this video.")        return "No transcript found for this video."    except VideoUnavailable:        logger.error("Video is unavailable.")        return "Video is unavailable."    except Exception as e:        logger.error("Error in fetching transcript: %s", e, exc_info=True)        return "Error in fetching transcript."    # Concatenate all text from the transcript into a single string    transcription_text = ''.join([item['text'] for item in transcript])    logger.debug("Transcription text (first 50 characters): %s", transcription_text[:50])    return transcription_text

The part that throws an exception is the line transcript_list = YouTubeTranscriptApi.list_transcripts(video_id).

And it throws a TranscriptsDisabled exception, saying that

Transcripts are disabled for this video.

But I do know that the video has transcripts and the code works perfectly fine on localhost as mentioned.

After spending 2 days and trying literally anything I can think of, I still have no solution to this mysterious problem. Anyone who has experienced the same thing and managed to solve it in some way?
