pyvideo-urlgrabber
==================
This is a very basic script that parses the metadata on http://pyvideo.org for the source video URLs, and prints them to stdout.
Use it like this:
```bash
./pyvideo-urlgrabber.py --category "PyCon US 2014"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeQt7CxzmPo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAqklQ4wzhY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBQB_yS2K4M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kdrp1Kt1dSw
[...]
```
The idea is to then feed these URLs into other purpose-built tools. For example, feeding these to [youtube-dl](http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/):
```bash
./pyvideo-urlgrabber.py -s "Guido van Rossum" -c "PyCon US 2015" | xargs youtube-dl --get-title
Keynote - Guido van Rossum - PyCon 2015
Type Hints - Guido van Rossum - PyCon 2015
./pyvideo-urlgrabber.py -s "Guido van Rossum" -c "PyCon US 2015" | xargs youtube-dl --title

Run it with `--help` for more details.
The first run will take a while, as it builds a cache of all the JSON metadata available on the site. There are currently over 2000 videos, resulting in a cache of around 4MB. This data is saved to a local cache file that must be manually rebuilt (using the `-r` option) to pick up new changes.
In addition to being able to filter to a specific category, you can also filter by a speaker name or video file type.
