What is Video URL Extractor?
This tool scans HTML source code for video-related elements: video tags with their src attributes, source sub-elements, streaming manifests (HLS/m3u8, DASH/mpd), iframe-embedded players, poster images, and direct media file URLs referenced in JavaScript or JSON data.
It can fetch a page's HTML from a URL (when CORS allows) or you can paste the HTML source directly. All extraction happens client-side in your browser using regex pattern matching.
FAQ
- Why can't the tool fetch certain URLs?
- CORS policies prevent browsers from fetching cross-origin pages. If fetching fails, open the page in your browser, press Ctrl+U to view the source, copy it, and paste it into the HTML field.
- What is an m3u8 file?
- An m3u8 file is an HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) manifest used by most modern video players. It contains a playlist of video chunks. You can play these with VLC or other HLS-compatible players.
- Does this work for YouTube videos?
- The tool can extract YouTube thumbnail URLs and oEmbed endpoints from the page source. However, direct video stream URLs from YouTube are encrypted and cannot be extracted through page source analysis.
