YouTube removed get_video_info endpoint

Details

It finally happened 🙂

This now returns 404:

YoutubeExplode/YoutubeExplode/Bridge/YoutubeController.cs

Lines 128 to 154 in 7813e3a

	public async ValueTask<VideoInfoExtractor> GetVideoInfoAsync(
	VideoId videoId,
	string? signatureTimestamp,
	CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
	{
	var eurl = WebUtility.HtmlEncode($"https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/{videoId}");
	var url =
	"https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info" +
	$"?video_id={videoId}" +
	"&html5=1" +
	"&el=embedded" +
	$"&sts={signatureTimestamp}" +
	$"&eurl={eurl}" +
	"&hl=en";
	var raw = await SendHttpRequestAsync(url, cancellationToken);
	var videoInfo = VideoInfoExtractor.Create(raw);
	if (!videoInfo.IsVideoAvailable())
	{
	throw new VideoUnavailableException($"Video '{videoId}' is not available.");
	}
	return videoInfo;
	}

In my last investigations I think I saw that there's an endpoint on the new API that can retrieve player response directly, so that could be used as replacement. Not sure if it can still be used as fallback for age-restricted videos though.

Related tests are failing:

Steps to reproduce

Run test: User can get a specific stream from a video(videoId: "SkRSXFQerZs")
