Registration Details


  • Name: GetMediumURL
  • System Name:  getmediumurl
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU Affero General Public License v3 or later (Documentation is also licensed under GNU AGPL3+, since it is mostly API documentation included in source code and two small separate files.

)




Description:

GetMediumURL is a package for getting URLs of media files (audio or video) hosted on websites.  It is written in Python and designed to be used by other projects providing useful frontends (tools which download media or convert them to free formats).

Unlike interfaces provided by these websites, programs using GetMediumURL could download the whole video and its metadata (currently title and thumbnail image) instead of using Flash-based players.

The difference between this project and video downloading programs is that GetMediumURL does not download media or provide any user interface -- these tasks can be done differently by projects like TinyOgg [0] or WatchVideo [1].  This package makes it simple to provide support for other websites in projects like these, and update it in one place if the websites change.
