How to download video with blob url

download

I am trying to download video with src url blob:https%3A//www.youtube.com/23aea5c8-9ae2-40dc-9417-e675ea99b386.

Is there a process that can be followed to download all this type of videos?

I found a way to download the video with blob url in Vimeo (reading here i understood how doing it). I write the simple steps here. I'm using Google Chrome:

  1. Open the More Tools → Developer Tools

  2. Check if in the video tag there is something like this:

    <video preload="" src="blob:https://player.vimeo.com/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"></video>
  3. Copy the src of the iframe tag, if any, something like http://player.vimeo.com/video/XYZ if you found it you can go straight to the point 7, otherwise follow steps 4, 5, 6.

  4. Now look for this string https://skyfire.vimeocdn.com/.../master.json?base64_init=1 inside the page (using the Developer View), you should found it inside a javascript function, like this:

    (function(e,a){var t={"cdn_url":"https://f.vimeocdn.com","view":1,"request":{"files":{"dash":{"origin":"gcs","url":"https://48skyfiregce-a.akamaihd.net/.../master.json?base64_init=1","cdn":"

  5. Copy the link inside the url field on a new Chrome tab, for example https://48skyfiregce-a.akamaihd.net/.../master.json?base64_init=1 end open it with a browser, it will open you a json file like this:

    {
    "clip_id": XYZ,
    "base_url": "../",
    "video": [
                 { ... ... ...

  6. Now compose a url with your id XYZ like this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/XYZ

  7. Replace blob:https://player.vimeo.com/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX inside the video tag with that last url (the one created in the previous step #6).

  8. Now you will notice that magically the src field inside of the video tag changed (if it does not, try step 7 multiple times)...

    <video preload="none" src="https://fpdl.vimeocdn.com/vimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us/XX/XXX/X/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX.mp4?token=abcdefg"></video>

  9. Use that new link to dowload it directly, it's something like this: https://fpdl.vimeocdn.com/vimeo-prod-skyfire-std-us/XX/XXX/X/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXX.mp4?token=abcdefg
