🏗 Technologies Used

• 🐍 Python (Core Programming Language)
• 🌐 Streamlit (Web Framework for UI)
• 🤖 OpenAI GPT-3.5 Turbo (Article Generation)
• 🎙 OpenAI Whisper (Audio Transcription)
• 📹 PytubeFix (YouTube Audio Extraction)

❗ Known Issues

pytubefix.exceptions.BotDetection: sVGg90hukLI This request was detected as a bot.

This error occurs when YouTube detects automated access to its content and blocks the request. This issue is common with pytubefix, as YouTube regularly updates its bot detection mechanisms.

Best Possible workaround: Tap the Start Analysis checkbox multiple times, it somehow bypasses and allows the URL.

Other possible workarounds include:

• Using a VPN or proxy to change your IP address.
• Implementing a delay between requests to mimic human behavior.
• Using an alternative method for downloading YouTube audio, such as yt-dlp.
• Updating pytubefix to the latest version to check for fixes.

This issue is currently being investigated for a more permanent solution.
