# Bitchute Downloader

This packages is focused on creating a wrapper for the BitChute site. Because the website doesn't have a API, the majority of the functions use HTML scrapping or XHR requests that detect when videos are searched or selected.

## API

### `isBitchuteLink(possibleLink) : bool`

Checks if a possible value is a valid URL and it's from the bitchute domain

Paramameters:

- `possibleLink: String`: Value containing a possible BitChute URL

### `fetchCookies() : Promise`

To correctly connect to BitChute, you have to request cookies. So, this function will fetch them. You may also pass it to other functions to prevent cookie fetching internally.

### `searchVideo (topic, duration, sorting,	cookies) : Promise`

List Bitchute videos based on search criteria. Currently, only the first page of data is fetched.

Parameters:

- `topic: String` - The topic that you want to query

- `duration: String` - Video duration category. Possible values are:

	- `"any"` - Do not restrict

	- `"short"` - Videos between 0 and 5 minutes

	- `"medium"` - Videos between 5 and 20 minutes

	- `"long"` - Videos longer than 20 minutes

	- `"feature"` - Videos longer than 45 minutes

- `sorting: String` - Video sorting setting. Possible values are:

	- `"relevance"` - Use higher relevance sorting (Default)

	- `"newest"` - Sort by newest videos first

	- `"oldest"` - Sort by oldest videos first

- `cookies: CookieMap` - Cookies fetched from `fetchCookies`

### `getVideoPrivateLink(publicPath, cookies): Promise`

When acessing BitChute video pages, the URL is formed by its domain and a path (e.g `/video/QBoDWtj3e8wi/` is the path part). With this data, we can fetch the private link for the video, i.e, the link for the video file on a content web server.

Parameters:

- `publicPath: String` - The public path of the target video

- `cookies: CookieMap` - Cookies fetched from `fetchCookies`

### `getVideoStream(privateLink) : Promise`

With the private link of a video, we can access the file as a binary data, creating a download stream from the remote data.

Parameters:

- `privateLink: String` - The private link of a Bitchute video. (Usually achieved with the `getVideoPrivateLink` function)
