loom downloader
v1.0.3
Loom Video Downloader is a simple Node.js command-line tool to download videos from loom.com. It retrieves the video download link based on the video ID in the URL and saves the video with a specified filename, a prefix for multiple files, or by default, the video ID.
To run this tool, you need to have Node.js and npm installed on your machine.
git clone https://github.com/EcomGraduates/loom-downloader.git
npm install
This tool uses the following npm packages:
axios - Promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.fs - File system module that allows you to work with the file system on your computer.https - HTTPS is the HTTP protocol over TLS/SSL.yargs - Yargs helps you build interactive command line tools, by parsing arguments and generating an elegant user interface.To download a single video from loom.com, run the following command, replacing [VideoId] with the actual video ID from the URL:
loom-dl --url https://www.loom.com/share/[VideoId]
This will download the video and save it as [VideoId].mp4.
You can specify a different output filename with the --out or -o option:
loom-dl --url https://www.loom.com/share/[VideoId] --out [FileName].mp4 or loom-dl --url https://www.loom.com/share/[VideoId] --out path/to/[FileName].mp4
This will download the video and save it as [FileName].mp4.
To download multiple videos listed in a text file, use the --list option. Create a text file with one video URL per line and pass the file path to the script:
loom-dl --list path/to/urls.txt
By default, each video will be saved with its video ID as the filename.
You can specify a filename prefix with the --prefix option. The script will append an auto-incrementing number to each downloaded video:
loom-dl --list path/to/urls.txt --prefix download --out path/to/output
This will save the videos with the specified prefix "download" and an incremented number in the given output directory. download-1.mp4 download-2.mp4 If no output path is specified it will default to Downloads folder
To prevent getting firewalled or rate-limited, a timeout can be set between downloads using the --timeout option:
loom-dl --list path/to/urls.txt --prefix download --out path/to/output --timeout 5000
This will add a 5-second wait time between each download. adjust as needed.
run npm install loom-dl in terminal
npm install loom-dl -g
follow the same commands as above but replace loom-dl with loom-dl
