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 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?
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 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
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.
I would like to use python to download the video files for all the episodes of the show Unique Sweets which can be found here:
http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/shows/unique-sweets/cooking--unique-sweets.html
I can't find the video link while inspecting elements of the page but if I view 'page info' and look at the media tab I can see the link to the video and that is only after I start playing the video in the page. Before actually starting to play the video there is a different link displayed as the video in the media tab.
Is there a way to automate the starting of the video and then parse the link even though I can't seem to find it when using firebug so that I can download the video?
