Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/715

I am logged in with a premium account and getting this error

YTMusicUserError("Your cookie is missing the required value __Secure-3PAPISID")
ytmusicapi.exceptions.YTMusicUserError: Your cookie is missing the required value __Secure-3PAPISID

You can see in the screenshot though that the value is there. I tried in chrome, firefox, and manually creating the browser.json incognito, clearing cookies etc... any ideas?

I am using https://github.com/linsomniac/spotify_to_ytmusic to try and convert my spotify list to youtube music

Is it possible there is another KeyError and the error message is hardcoded?

Thanks for the heads up, did not think there was anything too valuable there but I was mistaken. Email sent.

I gave sigma67 my credentials and they were able to get in. I was never able to figure out what I was doing incorrectly and was basically told it was user error, so I never ended up using this tool.
