Downloading videos off website in Java/Selenium? -
as bit of side project, wanted create program friendly students @ university download lectures posted online.
the videos available online, , watch them, users first login university account, navigate list of courses have online lectures, click course , watch lecture. download them, users need install 3rd party extension (like video downloader professional) , download lectures
i wanted create small applet students input
- login user , password university website
- the course wish download
- the lecture number of course/option lectures download
- the download path save these lectures
program create new browser window, login website, go course, , download lecture number want.
i ideally want run in background users can't see going on. know phantonjs can run invisible, there way chrome this?
so question: selenium idea this?
how make google chrome instance invisible end user in selenium?
basically want run chrome headless. not obvious task (although might in near future) , requires prerequisites.
so answer no, selenium isn't idea it. can have better options downloading file in background process... programming or scripting language can (including authentication part) , easier downloading files webdriver.
