用 python 抓取知乎指定回答下的视频

前言

现在知乎允许上传视频，奈何不能下载视频，好气哦，无奈之下研究一下了，然后撸了代码，方便下载视频保存。

接下来以 猫为什么一点也不怕蛇？ 回答为例，分享一下整个下载过程。

调试一下

打开 F12, 找到光标，如下图：

然后将光标移动到视频上。如下图：

咦这是什么？视野中出现了一条神秘的链接: https://www.zhihu.com/video/xxxxx，让我们将这条链接复制到浏览器上，然后打开：

似乎这就是我们要找的视频，不要着急，让我们看一看，网页的请求，然后你会发现一个很有意思的请求(重点来了):

让我们自己看一下数据吧:

}

没错了，我们要下载的视频就在这里面，其中 ld 代表普清,sd 代表标清, hd 代表高清，把相应链接再次在浏览器打开，然后右键保存就可以下载视频了。

代码

知道整个流程是什么样子，接下来撸代码的过程就简单了，这里就不过再做过多解释了，直接上代码:

结语

代码还有优化空间，这里面我只是下载了回答中的第一个视频，理论上应该存在一个回答下可以有多个视频的。如果还有什么疑问或者建议，可以多多交流。
