getting Http error 404 in Pytube. What is reason for this?

Question

Error message/code

This code used to work 4 days back now it is showing error. I tried using pytube3 but that does not help.

from pytube import YouTube** 
YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbBsqmKclXE').streams**

HTTPError Traceback (most recent call last) in ()
----> 1 YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbBsqmKclXE').streams

14 frames
/usr/lib/python3.7/urllib/request.py in http_error_default(self, req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)

647 class HTTPDefaultErrorHandler(BaseHandler):
648     def http_error_default(self, req, fp, code, msg, hdrs):

--> 649 raise HTTPError(req.full_url, code, msg, hdrs, fp) 650 651 class HTTPRedirectHandler(BaseHandler):

HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Is what you try to get available online? Can you see selected video in web browser? — Daweo, May 20 '21 at 07:51
Is this even a valid YouTube API endpoint? Possibly related to https://stackoverflow.com/q/67615278/1841839 — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, May 20 '21 at 08:56
