Automate Website Video File Download
Budget: ₹400 – ₹750 INR
I have a single job in mind: make it effortless for me to grab a video file (mp4/avi) that sits on a public webpage. Right now I’m doing it manually and it’s both slow and unreliable; I’d like a clean, repeatable solution instead.
What I need from you
• A lightweight script, CLI tool, or small desktop utility—Python, Node, Bash, or another language you prefer—that takes the video URL as input and saves the file locally.
• It has to work on a standard Windows or macOS machine without extra paid dependencies.
• The download should resume gracefully if the connection drops and give clear progress feedback.
• A short read-me explaining how to run the tool, adjust the output folder, and troubleshoot common issues.
Acceptance criteria
1. I can run one command, paste the webpage’s URL, and end up with the exact video file stored on my drive.
2. The file’s integrity matches the source (hash or file size check).
3. Setup time must be under five minutes using only the instructions you provide.
That’s the full scope—once I can pull that video down reliably, we’re done. If you’ve built scrapers, download accelerators, or similar utilities before, this should be a quick win for both of us. I’m ready to test as soon as you deliver the first build and will give rapid feedback to wrap things up fast.
