FAQ

1. Why not using NextJS Api endpoints?

I was using youtube-dl-exec but once it was deployed to vercel it didnot work because it requires a python runtime. I donot know how to assign python runtime in Vercel without using a python file.

2. Getting access restriction error.

If using the deployed version then, most probably the ip got rate limited due to continous request. Try again after sometime and it will work.

Notes

• special thanks to the youtube-dl-web project by Saanuregh. I understood how to deploy python and nextjs under a single repo on vercel
