Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/283

Context: I am setting up mopidy-ytmusic on NixOS. There isn't access to mopidyctl for some reason, so I've had to manually fill out the auth.json

I was having a strange issue where authentication was succeeding, but I wasn't getting back the correct data for my account. I think the problem is that I've accidentally been using a brand account for my music. I attempted to follow the ytmusicapi FAQ to resolve this, but changing the AuthUser just made authentication fail. However, I noticed the X-Goog-PageId had the same value as my brand id, so I went back to my previous auth.json and added the X-Goog-PageId field. Everything seems to work now!

I haven't seen any info on this particular scenario, so I'm creating this issue to have the X-Goog-PageId field documented.

@sigma67 commented on GitHub (Aug 2, 2022):

I don't think the X-Goog-PageId field is even required, for my requests from brand accounts it works just fine without.

Do you think it is needed?
