ERROR: "token" parameter not in video info for unknown reason

[joshgare]

For every YouTube URL that I try to retrieve the JSON Data, I get the following message. I have also tried the same YouTube URLs on http://jaimemf.github.io/youtube-dl-web/ and an error message is returned. I have tried using YouTube-DL from the command line and I can download the video so I am guessing something is going wrong with the api-server. Unfortunately I am unsure what as I'm new to using this project.

{
  "error": "ERROR: VLAXxAoWAok: \"token\" parameter not in video info for unknown reason; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see  https://yt-dl.org/update  on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output."
}

EDIT: The most up to date version of YouTube-DL is being used.

It works fine when using a local server but it fails on GAE even with the last youtube-dl version. Unfortunately I think it would take me some time to look into it in detail, if someone finds a fix I will appreciate it.

the issue i guess is that youtube has banned GAE ips. i shifted to amazon web service myself.

I just tested. IP is not blocked. video_get_info is giving result on a php script on GAE.
