Anyway to download archived video tweets from archive.org ?

I been trying for hours to download tweets clips that are not longer than 1 minute and they usually at 10 to 15 seconds clips
I tried the both firefox and chrome developer tools and still no avail to find the mp4 file
Quick note: in the console mode it seems to appear blocked:csp following by a mix of random letter and numbers and following with a .m3u8 file extension.

The video plays perfectly but by checking in further examination the only i can be able to find are .ts files which are bit of segments of the video.

again im clueless on how to download the actual full clip

I'm seeing the issue, it's a fucking blob url. They're a massive pain in the ass to deal with if the usual go-tos like ytdl or videodownload helper can't deal with them. Unless someone feels like writing you up something, you're probably just better off screenrecording it.

thanks for trying.

also i guess i'm just too silly to forgot to do a reverse search of the deleted tweet to find out another account got the video still posted from the original author so in conclusion i manage to download it at his full glory!

If you guys are too lazy to copy-paste links to archive.md/tweetsave/whatever, use these bookmarklets instead:
archive.md:
Code: 
javascript:void(open('https://archive.md/?run=1&url='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
tweetsave:
Code: 
javascript:void(open('https://tweetsave.com/?tweet='+encodeURIComponent(document.location)))
go1dfish (for reddit stuff):
Code: 
javascript:if (window.location.hostname.match(/reddit/)) {window.location = 'https://r.go1dfish.me' + window.location.pathname + window.location.search;}

save the shit in the code tag as bookmark and click them when you open a page you'd like to archive

Wonder if I can combine this with an iOS shortcut. I was debating going the curl route and then realized that’s retarded.

*******

And for everyone else that is fully fucking retarded, telegram has bots to download YouTube videos.

GoZilla will allow you to download up to 720p and also allow you to download just the audio


AnyVideoDownloader does a good job with a lot of things that aren’t YouTube. This includes Periscope, Gab, Parler (lmao imagine using that) and any other webpage that has a video on it.


This one also does YouTube and I use it if others are down/not working


For Instagram


This one saves all pictures/videos in a post


If someone upload something to SoundCloud use this


I think that’s most of the Telegram bots I use for archiving/preserving. I’m on mobile a lot and can’t necessarily use desktop tools without remoting into a desktop.

Grep Tweet saves up to 3200 tweets, I've used it and it's pretty useful.

It still works? Because Twitter keeps blocking access to tools. I can’t get TWINT to work but maybe it’s just me

Nah I'm pretty sure that service died all the way back in 2016 after an API change. Twitter is cancer incarnate in general. Tried to make a throwaway account so I could easily follow various exceptional people and after 10 minutes I got locked out and asked for a phone number. Need to figure out how to use one of those Russian throwaway number services. If someone knows an easy way for non Cyrillic speakers please let me know.

Attached the video. The process for downloading these isn't super easy but doable with a bit of detective work and autism on your side.

Here's the steps I took:
  1. Load the page in your browser with the network inspector open and capturing. (F12 -> Network)
  2. Find the m3u8 playlist containing the different quality streams, it should be the first one to load (Filter by Media to make this easier)
  3. Look at the response body / payload for that request, it should contain #EXTM3U and a bunch of m3u8 files with varying qualities. For me the highest quality one was last on the list and has the URL /ext_tw_video/1303975175365558272/pu/pl/912x720/znvQsl9g6trnA11O.m3u8
  4. Take the path for the highest quality .m3u8, prepend "https://web.archive.org/web/20201002052552if_/https://video.twimg.com" to it and download the file
  5. Open that file in Notepad or whatever, prepend "https://web.archive.org/web/20201002052552if_/https://video.twimg.com" to each segment so they look like "https://web.archive.org/web/2020100...272/pu/vid/0/3000/912x720/vhHf_WB7vfYwoEaZ.ts", etc. and save the file
  6. Run "ffmpeg -protocol_whitelist file,http,https,tcp,tls,crypto -i "znvQsl9g6trnA11O.m3u8" -c copy boobies.mp4". ffmpeg will basically grab the segments and assemble them into the .mp4 for you, it's actually way higher quality than the archive.org one as their player is selecting the lowest quality
If you're doing this shit all the time then let me know and I can write a tool to do all of this. The metadata at https://web.archive.org/web/2020100.../videos/tweet/config/1303975362397908992.json is sufficient to automate this process.

Use http://smspva.com/

Or, you can order a 0.99 Mint Mobile SIM card. It comes with a phone number and 7 days unlimited data (if you already have an unlocked phone)

Downside to smspva is if you’re going to use twitter you’ll likely get locked again. So you’ll have to rent a number and keep it for as long as you want to use twitter.
