Use When
Use this skill when you need to download a video from a Squarespace site you own, administer, or have permission to work on, especially when the browser only exposes a blob: URL.
Responsible Use
Use this only for videos you own, administer, or have explicit permission to download. Do not use it to bypass paywalls, licensing, private access controls, or creator restrictions.
Inputs
- The page URL containing the video.
- Confirmation that the video is authorized to download.
- A preferred output filename.
Workflow
- Open the page in a browser and start playing the video.
- Open DevTools and inspect the Network panel.
- Filter for media,
m3u8,mp4,ts, or large streaming requests. - Copy the underlying media or playlist URL instead of the visible
blob:URL. - Use
ffmpegto download or reassemble the media into a local file. - Play the result and confirm audio, video, and duration look correct.
Output
Return the saved file path, the command used, and any caveats such as missing audio, low resolution, or an expiring source URL.
Prompt
