YouTube trusted session generator

Description

This script will output two parameters: po_token and visitor_data. Needed for passing YouTube checks in Invidious.

What's po_token

po_token known as Proof of Origin Token. This is an attestation token generated by a complex anti robot verification system created by Google named BotGuard/DroidGuard. It is used to confirm that the request is coming from a genuine device.

These identity tokens (po_token and visitor_data) generated using this tool will make your entire YouTube session more easily traceable by YouTube because it is tied to a unique identifier.

Requirement(s)

Run the script on the same public IP address as the Invidious server. Not necessarily the same machine, just the same public IP address.
