Finding src from video tag in a div in BeautifulSoup

I'm trying to find the src of a video tag with BeautifulSoup in python
import requests
from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as BS
url = '<some url>'
client_id = {'Client-ID': '<some id>'}
json_data = requests.get(url, headers=client_id).json()
def download(some_url) :
html_page = urlopen(some_url)
soup = BS(html_page, "html.parser")
link_to_vid = soup.find('video')['src']
print(link_to_vid)
# urllib.request.urlretrieve(video)
for x in range(0, num_clips):
resp_url = (json_data['data'][x]['url'])
print (resp_url)
download(resp_url)
When running this script I get an output of
*link from print(resp_url)*
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 28 in <module>
download(resp_url)
File "script.py", line 18 in download
link_to_vid = soup.find('video')['src']
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
It seems to me that this error is occurring because BeautifulSoup cannot find a video tag on the webpage. I tried printing the whole html page I got from BeautifulSoup and it looks like it doesn't get the whole webpage, at least not what I can see from Chrome devtools.
Am I getting this error because the video is nested deep within divs? Why isn't BeautifulSoup getting the whole html page?

As each URL usually requires different processing, the actual URL would be needed to help you.
