I am trying to download closed captions for this public youtube video (just for testing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txvud7wPbv4
I am using the code sample(captions.py) below that i got from this link https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/captions/download
I have already stored the client-secrets.json(oauth2 authentification) and youtube-v3-api-captions.json in the same directory (asked in the sample code)
I put this code line in cmd : python captions.py --videoid='Txvud7wPbv4' --action='download'
I get this error:
I don't know why it doesn't recognise the video id of this public video.
Anyone had the a similar issue ?
Thank you all in advance.
