Features
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Video Fetching | Fetch rich video metadata: title, description, views, likes, publish date, duration, categories, channel, and associated performers |
| Video Downloading | HLS and direct MP4 downloads with configurable quality (best, half, worst, or actual numeric resolutions), including verified renditions through 2160p |
| Channel & Performer Profiles | Fetch channel and performer metadata, follow video relationships, and iterate complete video listings |
| Category Fetching | Retrieve typed categories and iterate their videos page-by-page with concurrency control |
| Video Search | Search videos, performers, or channels; filter video listings by category, channel, performer, tags, and duration |
| Lazy Source Loading | Independently load API and HTML metadata, defer individual fields, and inspect actual media renditions when needed |
| Async-First | Fully asynchronous (async / await) built on top of asyncio |
| Built-in Caching | Automatic response caching with configurable limits to reduce redundant network requests |
| CLI Support | Command-line interface for quick downloads — run bellesa_api -h for options |
| Type Safety | Comprehensive type hinting and dataclass-based models throughout |
Networking Features
The networking layer is provided by the eaf_base_api package and is fully configurable through RuntimeConfig:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 | Configurable HTTP version (v1, v2, v3 — defaults to HTTP/2) |
| Browser Impersonation | Built-in browser fingerprint impersonation via curl_cffi (defaults to Chrome) |
| Custom JA3 Fingerprint | Override the TLS fingerprint with a custom JA3 string for advanced use cases |
| Proxy Support | All proxy types supported (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5) |
| Proxy Authentication | Username/password authentication for proxies |
| Bandwidth Limiting | Set a maximum download speed in MB/s (e.g., 2.0, 3.5) |
| DNS over HTTPS | Route DNS queries over HTTPS for privacy and bypassing DNS-level blocks |
| SSL Verification | Toggle SSL certificate verification on or off |
| Request Delay | Configurable delay between requests to respect rate limits |
| Concurrency Control | Tune video and page concurrency independently for optimal throughput |

import asyncio
from bellesa_api import Client, DownloadConfigHLS
async def main():
# Initialize a Client object and close its network resources on exit
async with Client() as client:
# Fetch a video
video_object = await client.get_video("https://www.bellesa.co/videos/7054")
# Information from Video objects
print(video_object.title)
# Download the video
config = DownloadConfigHLS(quality="best", path="./", remux=True)
await video_object.download(config)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
