Download video with blob url - python

I am working on a Python project to scrap videos from Instagram using Selenium and request.
I am following the following link but it seems Instagram changed its settings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DCtaJvf6VA&list=PLEsfXFp6DpzQjDBvhNy5YbaBx9j-ZsUe6&index=17&ab_channel=CodingEntrepreneurs
However, after I get a link of Instagram video, it's like this:
blob:https://www.instagram.com/4ddaf674-312a-4366-ad12-136bda7b6c8e
Hence, I cannot download the video. And I have looked at similar posts and they can find m3u8 or .ts in the Inspection. However, I cannot find any of them. Could anyone help?

M4S file extensin in Streaming video. How to download and use in Python

I was watching a movie on hotstar and decided to download that movie. I will use Python to do that. But for that I need the video URL. I inspected the page and came to know that it has segmented streaming file.
The requested URL that I have highlighted in the picture is:
https://hses1.hotstar.com/videos/movies/bengali/sweater/1260011260/1569583501995/ad1f5bdbac36f489da1adb7f077be226/video/avc1/3/seg-1306.m4s
It has a .m4s extension. How to read that file? Or how to work with it using Python?
USE IDM to download movie, or you can scrape bit there must be m3u8 link as well which might be not in use as of now

Mp4 download using python requests

So I've been working on a webscraping script to download a video from a specific website I'm done scraping the site and have the video source.
The video has a play botton I've tried using selenium on it it plays but I don't know how to perform the download using selenium. Also I tried this other codes
wget.download('http://wwwstatic.chia-anime.tv/player.php?id=96576')
I also tried using the request library iter tools
But that only downloads 14.4kb
Also I observed the direct link (above link) that plays the video has a click botton and when it's clicked it sends a network request to another site but I don't know how to replicate it
Please help
You want to wget the actual file, not the php page.
I got the video link from the page so this should work.
wget.download('https://animesource.me:7995/cache/TDJgNsh-ZXf5Qd81-24vVg/1584877220/j1vznzzjn5ns.html.mp4')

Python: Scrape videos (that are invisible in HTML) from webpages

I would like to download the videos embedded in a set of URL's from the Google Ad Transparency report. Here's a sample page where the video is a YouTube link:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/political-ads/advertiser/AR113835462480625664/creative/CR525481620803682304
And here's a sample page where the video is hosted by google and the video file can be directly downloaded:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/political-ads/advertiser/AR528016269983612928/creative/CR221377870159675392
In both cases, regular browsers (Chrome, Firefox) let me copy the YouTube link URL (top example) or download the linked video file (bottom example).
However, I cannot locate these links in the page source. Can anyone tell me how to locate them, or how one would write a script that would locate the correct tags and grab the video files (or YouTube links)? Is this a dynamic content problem?
You could reach it by the transparencryreport API
For example, the page you attached is getting the video content from the following page:
https://transparencyreport.google.com/transparencyreport/api/v3/politicalads/creatives/details?entity_id=AR528016269983612928&creative_id=CR221377870159675392

how to extract youtube thumbnail from youtube link in python

I want to extract and display Youtube search results for a query to the user.
In that process, I have completed fetching the Youtube link and also extracted the title from the link.
Nevertheless I also want the thumbnail of that link displayed, same as that displayed in Youtube suggestions section.
For a question like this, I'd recommend using the site:youtube.com Google Images search, and just have a look at one or two thumbnails. I believe the below should work in all cases, though you'd need to test on different types of videos.
If the video URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxxxx
The thumbnail URL is https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xxxxxxxxxxxx/maxresdefault.jpg
