I just bought the Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom course, but I'm going to Guatemala and the internet isn't good for streaming 1080p 60fps internet. So I wrote a scraper!
2 part scraper
- Scrapes all course video pages & metadata into a JSON file
- Read page urls from the JSON file to actually download the videos
This was astonishingly fast to write thanks to playwright & mostly GPT4
Install deps
python3.11 -m venv scrape_env
source scrape_env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
To scrape together a json file of all the course pages & metadata, run
python3 course_content.json
making sure to sign in after the browser window opens
To scrape the videos URLs, modify download_files_from_extracted_json.py with the json file of the sections you want to scrape videos from and run (for example, the generated course_content.json from above. or you can cut and paste sections you don't want from that big one into smaller json file) and run:
python3 course_content.json
Again, making sure to sign in when the browser opens.
If you get an error, it's likely due to being signed in on too many devices. The course UI will ask you to sign out all other sessions except for the current one. Do that and everything should continue working normally!
