Hiya, so looking to download videos of certain websites. So far been using https://www.downloadhelper.net/ extension to download the videos manually, but it turns into a very tedious process after a while. Looking for a way to automate this process :) Let me know if there are any tools, programs or solutions to grab stuff off the internet.

Yt-dlp?

If you want to download several videos on the same website, just write a python script in combination with the yt-dlp command. It’s not that hard.

It supports downloading playlists on some websites and also supports reading a file with URLs.

Wait, it does videos of websites? What are you looking to capture, exactly? Like, screen recordings of what the website looks like?
