Too Many Requests when using pytube

I have a site, where you enter an url and when you click download, it should download a video but instead I get this error

urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests

is it possible to fix?

Yes. Make fewer requests to the site. They are rate-limiting you. In general, sites like youtube do not want you to be accessing them with programs, so they have mechanisms in place to prevent that.

The only possible way to handle rate limits is to wait.
