# YouTube Bot Detection Analysis
## Current Situation
YouTube has significantly strengthened bot detection in 2024-2025:
- All anonymous methods are being blocked
- Status code 410 indicates content unavailable/blocked
- Even different libraries (play-dl, ytdl-core, yt-dlp) are detected
## Possible Solutions
### Option 1: Use proxy/VPN rotation
- Rotate IP addresses
- Use residential proxies
- Complex but may work temporarily
### Option 2: Alternative video sources
- Switch to other video platforms
- Use YouTube alternatives
- Different API endpoints
### Option 3: Web scraping approach
- Use headless browser (Puppeteer)
- Simulate real user behavior
- More complex but harder to detect
### Option 4: Accept limitation
- Show error message to users
- Suggest users download manually
- Focus on other features
## Recommendation for Telegram MiniApp
For a Telegram MiniApp, the most viable approaches are:
1. Alternative video sources (SoundCloud, etc.)
2. Graceful error handling with user instructions
3. Consider pivot to different content source
