Video Scraper

Post by chimpchomp01 »

Hi Martin,

Have you by any chance developed a video scraper for Tumblr? I would love to get my hands on such a program for an up and coming project.

I look forward to hearing.

Jesse.

No, there is no video scraper. As most videos tend to be embeds anyway, it would be very difficult and timely

If you want a youtube downloader, checkout youtube-dl

It is a python script and works via command line so you need to have "some" technical knowledge, not much though. You can run it on windows / linux / mac.

Install python, pip, then just

pip install youtube-dl

then you can download any video with the command

youtube-dl https://youtube.com/32874982374982

has lots of options for bulk downloading and will download from other sites as well

Thanks for that, all of my content is adult so youtube would not be a good source for me. Do you know of anything that would scrape the video along with the descriptions?

No idea, perhaps not, IIRC it is just a video downloader, although there may be options to do it. Check the website and program options
