(Solved) Are there any CLI tools that can download videos of websites?

Hiya, so looking to download videos of certain websites. So far been using www.downloadhelper.net extension to download the videos manually, but it turns into a very tedious process after a while. Looking for a way to automate this process :) Let me know if there are any tools, programs or solutions to grab stuff off the internet.

Yt-dlp?

If you want to download several videos on the same website, just write a python script in combination with the yt-dlp command. It’s not that hard.
