#I can get transcripts from some channels really smoothly, but sometimes I get this error message:

#Is the problem possibly that the video titles include irregular characters like emojis, '|' and '?'

#I am new to python, so I could be making a basic error, this is the code I used (the same code works perfectly with some channels):

from youtube_channel_transcript_api import YoutubeChannelTranscripts
channel_getter = YoutubeChannelTranscripts('UCEZVbBq-gdk0_P369jZv0Vw', 'My_API_Key')

Hi,

I would like to get the transcription of this channel/playlist (explore>news>worldnews) : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvAvFl2OGsuDSoOo93Kd0nA

I tried :
from youtube_channel_transcript_api import YoutubePlaylistTranscripts channel_getter = YoutubePlaylistTranscripts('World News','UCvAvFl2OGsuDSoOo93Kd0nA', 'myapikey') videos_data, videos_errored = channel_getter.get_transcripts()

But it didn't work, I have this following error:
404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&maxResults=50&playlistId=UCvAvFl2OGsuDSoOo93Kd0nA&key=myapikey&pageToken=

Can you help me please ? Is it because this page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvAvFl2OGsuDSoOo93Kd0nA use a lot of playlist, with videos of others channels ?

Thanks,
Cheers,
Camille
