it appear like there was a black bar/empty section up and bottom how do i get the thumbnail without that

pytubefix just returns the url that YouTube provides.

Some clients, maybe for compatibility reasons, have this border

You can try changing the client to MWEB or any other WEB based client.

url = 'URL'

yt = YouTube(url, 'MWEB')

print(yt.thumbnail_url)
