# CloudApp/Zight Video Downloader
CloudApp/Zight Video Downloader is a simple Node.js command-line tool to download videos from cloudapp.com/zight.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.
## Getting Started
To run this tool, you need to have Node.js and npm installed on your machine.
### Installation
1. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/EcomGraduates/cloudapp-downloader.git`
2. Install NPM packages: `npm install`
### Dependencies
This tool uses the following npm packages:
- `axios` - Promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js.
- `cheerio` - Fast, flexible & lean implementation of core jQuery designed specifically for the server.
- `fs` - File system module to work with the file system on your computer.
- `https` - HTTPS module to make native HTTPS requests.
- `path` - Path module provides utilities for working with file and directory paths.
- `yargs` - Yargs helps you build interactive command line tools, by parsing arguments and generating an elegant user interface.
## Usage
### Download a Single Video
To download a single video from cloudapp.com/zight.com, run the following command, replacing `[VideoId]` with the actual video ID from the URL:
```
node cloudapp-dl.js --url https://share.getcloudapp.com/[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:
```
node cloudapp-dl.js --url https://share.getcloudapp.com/[VideoId] --out [FileName].mp4 or node cloudapp-dl.js --url https://share.getcloudapp.com/[VideoId] --out path/to/[FileName].mp4
```
This will download the video and save it as `[FileName].mp4`.
### Download Multiple Videos
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:
```
node cloudapp-dl.js --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:
```
node cloudapp-dl.js --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
### Save video with original title
```
node cloudapp-dl.js --list path/to/urls.txt --defaultTitle true --out path/to/output
```
this will save the video using the original title from the page. if you use this WITH --prefix the prefix option will overide. use one or the other not both
### Avoid rate limiting
To prevent getting firewalled or rate-limited, a timeout can be set between downloads using the `--timeout` option:
```
node cloudapp-dl.js --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.
### installing via NPM
run npm install cloudapp-dl in terminal
```
npm i cloudapp-dl
```
### use command cloudapp-dl
follow the same commands as above but replace node cloudapp-dl.js with cloudapp-dl
