crx-dl

======

This is just a simple script to automate the downloading of Google Chrome extensions (.CRX files)

from the Chrome Web Store.

Usage

-----

```

crx-dl.py [-h] [-q] [-o OUTPUT_FILE] id_or_url

positional arguments:

  id_or_url             ID or full URL of the extension in Chrome Web Store

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -q, --quiet           suppress all messages

  -o OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file OUTPUT_FILE

                        where to save the .CRX file

```

For example:

```

python crx-dl.py \

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb \

    -o translate.crx

```

The above command will download the Google Translate extension to a file named `translate.crx` in the current working directory.

To extract the contents of the CRX file, you can use `unzip` on Unix-like systems:

```

unzip translate.crx -d translate

```

or just open it as a ZIP file in your favorite archive manager program.

Via Browser
