vdown is a Vimeo downloader that let you download audio/video data from a
vimeo stream and combine them into a single video file.
Installation
Unzip vdown then use yarn
or npm
to install the dependencies
cd vdown
yarn install
How to use it
Inspect the page that contains the video you wish to download locally and from
the network information tab, find its related master.json
and copy the file URL.
Now you can use ./bin/vdown
to download your video.
Download a single video
You can download a single video by specifing the master.json
URL and optionally
an output name for your video. If you don't specify a name for your video the
output file will be named using the vimeo's clip_id
(UUID).
To download a single video use the command:
vdown --url "https://my.cdn.com/master.json" --output "~/Movies/my_video.mp4"
Download multiple videos
Create a JSON document that contains all your downloads, structured as follow:
{
"dest": "~/Downloads",
"files": [
{
"name": "01 - My First File.mp4",
"url": "https://my.cdn.com/1234/master.json"
},
{
"name": "02 - My Second File.mp4",
"url": "https://my.cdn.com/5678/master.json"
},
]
}
Feed the document to vdown using the command:
vdown --json ./download.json
