python 抓取知乎指定回答下视频的方法

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:

{
	"playlist": {
		"ld": {
			"width": 360,
			"format": "mp4",
			"play_url": "https://vdn.vzuu.com/LD/05fc411e-d8e0-11e8-bb8b-0242ac112a0b.mp4?auth_key=1541477643-0-0-987c2c504d14ab1165ce2ed47759d927&expiration=1541477643&disable_local_cache=1",
			"duration": 17,
			"size": 1123111,
			"bitrate": 509,
			"height": 640
		},
		"hd": {
			"width": 720,
			"format": "mp4",
			"play_url": "https://vdn.vzuu.com/HD/05fc411e-d8e0-11e8-bb8b-0242ac112a0b.mp4?auth_key=1541477643-0-0-8b8024a22a62f097ca31b8b06b7233a1&expiration=1541477643&disable_local_cache=1",
			"duration": 17,
			"size": 4354364,
			"bitrate": 1974,
			"height": 1280
		},
		"sd": {
			"width": 480,
			"format": "mp4",
			"play_url": "https://vdn.vzuu.com/SD/05fc411e-d8e0-11e8-bb8b-0242ac112a0b.mp4?auth_key=1541477643-0-0-5948c2562d817218c9a9fc41abad1df8&expiration=1541477643&disable_local_cache=1",
			"duration": 17,
			"size": 1920976,
			"bitrate": 871,
			"height": 848
		}
	},
	"title": "",
	"duration": 17,
	"cover_info": {
		"width": 720,
		"thumbnail": "https://pic2.zhimg.com/80/v2-97b9435a0c32d01c7c931bd00120327d_b.jpg",
		"height": 1280
	},
	"type": "video",
	"id": "1039146361396174848",
	"misc_info": {}
}

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。
