Apparently this is what is being returned on the snippet that requests a callback to the cobalt service. A whole html string instead of the expected json string. I've accessed cobalt.tools and I noticed they use the CloudFlare service... I tried using a yt link, but the bot detection (service provided by CloudFlare) seems to never give a response, making me unable of downloading the video.
