Video src crawler
Project description
Web crawler to extract video data from HTML, MRSS and more.
This library primarily extracts the source attributes / tags from the HTML5 <video/> element.
Motivation
I needed to be able to enumerate videos from multiple different websites and formats.
Backends
A given URL is handled by a specific backend which knows how to interpret the HTML.
HTML
Meant to read from a static HTML page or index page generated by a webserver when viewing a directory full of video files. Looks for videos in <video/> and <a/> tags.
MRSS
Media RSS is a syndication format for media. As such we don’t really need to crawl the given URL but simply parse it and return the listed videos.
Peertube
Utilizes the PeerTube REST API to fetch video information.
Rumble
Uses web scraping to fetch video information. Utilizes Chromium to allow Javascript execution.
