GoToMeeting Transcripts Video Downloader
The GoToMeeting Transcripts Video Downloader is a Python program tailored for automating the downloading of video files from the GoToMeeting Transcripts website. It streamlines the process of fetching videos from this specific source.
Features
Headless Browsing: The script utilizes a headless Chrome browser to interact with the GoToMeeting Transcripts website, ensuring a seamless and unobtrusive experience.
Date Extraction: It extracts the date information from the GoToMeeting webpage, facilitating organization and categorization of downloaded videos.
Title Extraction: The program captures the title meta tag from the webpage, allowing precise identification of the downloaded video.
Flexible Parameters: Users can specify the list of video links to download from a text file and define the directory where downloaded GoToMeeting videos will be saved, making it highly configurable.
Download Progress: It displays a download progress bar using the
tqdmlibrary, so users can easily track the download process.Custom File Naming: The script constructs two file names for each downloaded video - a full file name with the video title and date, and a shorter file name with title and date separated by underscores.
How to Use
Clone the repository or download the script.
Install the required libraries using
pip install selenium requests tqdm.Execute the script with the following command:
python script_name.py -f links_file.txt -d destination_directoryExample:
python3 script_name.py --links-file video_links.txt --destination-directory Downloads/Meetingscript_name.pywith the name of the script.links_file.txtshould be a text file with comma-separated video links.destination_directoryis the directory where downloaded GoToMeeting videos will be saved.This specialized script simplifies the process of downloading videos from GoToMeeting Transcripts and can be a valuable tool for users who regularly access and work with content from this platform.
