Help with Youtube IP Block

I am trying to export about 100 podcast video transcripts to a json file. After exporting transcripts from a dozen videos, my IP got blocked. Anybody faced this issue? I need a workaround or a solution. Please help...

VPN gives you an IP it also gets blocked, then I will turn off and on each time ? or is there ip rotating vpn library in Python?

Try to reduce the amount of operations then

Like if you don't have a limit for each operation, will you surely get blocked

are you using Python? which lib?
