How can I use Python to download a video from a website?
There's a really cool course on Kadenze on machine learning.
Much like coursera-dl does, I would like to download all of the course videos so I can reference them later.
For simplicity's sake, let's assume I've logged in and have access to the page with the videos on it.
How can I download the video(s) on the page with Python?
Extra info (will be edited as more information is found):
- There doesn't seem to be a specific URL for each video that I can
access. (Pressing "Copy this link" on the buttons that go to the next
videos results injavascript:void(0);on the clipboard.

@Jameson The thing is, the videos don't have a specific URL that I can find, otherwise I would do that in a heartbeat. (See "Extra Info"). Thanks though.

maybe use some browser extension to download all videos on page. It needs less work.

@furas Surprisingly, that worked. Thank you! Apparently I don't need to write a program for it after all. Right now I'm using "Video Downloader Professional" on Chrome. It doesn't seem to see all the videos yet, but I'm sure that's just troubleshooting.

I know very late to this game, but youtube-dl seems ideal for this purpose.
The name is a misnomer they cover many more video hosting sites (other than youtube), and works very well.

For now, this is a link-only answer, which is discouraged on stack overflow - this may be better as a comment unless you’re willing to explain how it works (the relevant code seems to be indownloader/http.py). That said, this is pretty much exactly what I was looking for and I did not know it existed, so thank you!
