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')

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?
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
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
I am trying to automate the process of downloading webpages with technical documentation which I need to update every year or so.
Here is an example page: http://prod.adv-bio.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProdNo=1197
From this page, the desired end result would be having all the html links saved as pdf's.
I am using wget to download the .pdf files
I can't use wget to download the html files, because the .html links on the page can only be accessed by clicking through from the previous page.
I tried using Selenium to open the links in Firefox and print them to pdf's, but the process is slow, frequently misses links, and my work proxy server forces me to re-authenticate every time I need to access a page for a different product.
I could open a chrome browser using chromedriver but could not handle the print dialog, even after trying pywinauto per an answer to a similar question here.
I tried taking screenshots of the html pages using Selenium, but could not find out how to get the whole webpage without capturing the entire screen.
I have been through a ton of links related to this topic but have yet to find a satisfying solution to this problem.
Is there a cleaner way to do this?
Recently i learned beautifulsoup and am trying to download files from webpages.
Now i am trying to download the video from this webpage ozee.
Using IDM I can download video with .TS extension, But "soup" object has no such link. Also using inspect element i can find the player window div class "video-player", but also there is no link.
Is this video link even downloadable?
I'm beyond the limit of my Python abilities, any help will be appreciable.
