WebPoClient PO Token Provider

An experimental yt-dlp PO Token Provider that uses nodriver and YouTube's "WebPoClient" in the browser to mint PO Tokens.

Supports:

  • WebPO-based clients (web, web_safari, web_music, mweb tv, tv_embedded, web_embedded, web_creator, ...)
  • Minting GVS and Player PO Tokens
  • Minting PO Tokens for both guest and logged-in sessions

Installing

Requires yt-dlp 2025.09.26 or above.

Chrome or Chromium must be installed.

pip/pipx

pipx inject yt-dlp yt-dlp-getpot-wpc

or

python3 -m pip install -U yt-dlp-getpot-wpc

If installed correctly, you should see the wpc PO Token provider in yt-dlp -v YOUTUBE_URL output

[debug] [youtube] [pot] PO Token Providers: wpc-1.x.y (external)

Usage

This provider will automatically be used when a PO Token is requested by yt-dlp. It will launch a web browser while yt-dlp is running which it will use to mint PO Token(s).

[!WARNING] Do not close the browser that is launched when yt-dlp is running!
