Download Wistia videos - Please do not misuse it!

Download Wistia videos

  1. right-click on the playing video, select Copy link
  2. find Wistia video ID in the copied link e.g. wvideo=tra6gsm6rl
    • alternative: look for e.g. hashedId=tra6gsm6rl in the page source
  3. load http://fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/ + video ID in your browser
  4. look for "type":"original" in the page source and copy the URL from the next line e.g. "url":"http://embed.wistia.com/deliveries/129720d1762175bcd8e06dcab926ec76ad38ff00.bin"
    • alternative: look for "type":"hd_mp4_video"
  5. download the video from the URL with .mp4 extension instead of .bin

I created a little website based on this that gets all asset urls, which fit my use case better. Maybe its helpful for some as well: https://jannispaul.github.io/wisita-url-fetcher/

Thanks for creating and sharing this my friend, I was panicking when the wistia extension disappeared but this works great.

Thanks...

HI guys!
I created a Chrome extension that does just that in a click of a button: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/fhmlmcbfjnegdoafmfcfmhpahfegdjlp?authuser=1&hl=en

I'd really appreciate it if you can give me your feedback after trying it. Any bugs, anything I can improve on it?

I'm happy to hear that!

It would be great if you can leave me a review on the Google webstore, it will really help me and encourage me to offer more :)

Thanks!

Brilliant. Are you going to put the code on Github so others can possibly contribute?

Has anybody encountered different code for the video like thumbnail_120728 (https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-word-processing-software-definition-types-examples.html)? On this site there are different video IDs.
