Twitter Video Downloader
A simple, if fragile, approach to downloading videos from Twitter. Twitter presents these video files as streams, so as to make it (un)intentionally difficult to just download videos.
Installation
Python3 is a must.
pip install -r requirements.txt
.
Usage
twitter-video-downloader.py [-h] -v VIDEO_URL
Output
A directory named output
will be created, with the twitter username, followed by the tweet ID.
From there, the script will attempt to parse out the streams and download them. They will then be used to create a final file named <resolution>.ts
. QuickTime has no problem opening this file. YMMV.
