Hello,

I have list of urls from doodstream in an excel sheet is it possible to get the run time of all the videos without opening the urls in a browser or downloading the videos.

Thank you.

You should be able to use their API with a simple python script.

The urls are not from my account, how can I use their API to get the runtimes, I tried and it said unauth or something like that

Yes, it appears that method won't work if you don't own the files. However, you can still build a scraper to fetch them and retrieve the duration.

I'm sorry I didn't understand this, scraper as in a webscraper?

While true, judging by the OP I don't think he knows how to code, much less how to deal with Cloudflare's JA3/JA4 and HTTP header fingerprinting.

Absolutely correct, I have no idea about coding. I wanted to know if there was a non coding method or if anybody had code they could share and tell me how to use it.

It might be achievable using browser automation. Could you provide the doodstream link? I can have a try.

NSFW link, replace space before com with a . and stars with /

myvidplay com*e*2qgcek4j4peq

is it possible to get the runtimes in the column next to the url in the same excel sheet, like I have a sheet with columnA - filenames, columnB - doodstream urls, can the automation write the runtimes in the columnc in the same sheet.
