Are you able to update this? It’s currently not finding the URL

hey friend,
the most recent method isn’t working for some reason – I think it’s because link is going to a secondary page. Can you assist?

OHH THANKS.

OHHH THANKS. You also need to add: from bs4 import BeautifulSoup.

For anyone using this method, remember to add “from bs4 import BeautifulSoup” at the beginning! Or else soup = BeautifulSoup(web_html, ‘html.parser’) won’t work.

Make sure to install Beautifulsoup4 – `pip install beautifulsoup4`

In mfdl.py – Find the ‘find_direct_url’ function and replace it with this:

def find_direct_url(info_url):
rq = requests.get(info_url, headers=HTTP_HEADERS, timeout=TIMEOUT_T)
web_html = rq.text
soup = BeautifulSoup(web_html, ‘html.parser’)

# Find the download link
download_link = soup.find(‘a’, {‘class’: ‘input popsok’, ‘aria-label’: ‘Download file’})
if download_link is None:
return {“success”: 0}

direct_url = download_link[‘href’]

# Find the uploaded location
uploaded_from_tag = soup.find(‘p’, text=re.compile(‘This file was uploaded from ‘))
if uploaded_from_tag is None:
return {“url”: direct_url, “location”: “Unknown”, “success”: 1}

uploaded_from = uploaded_from_tag.text
location = uploaded_from.split(” on “)[0].replace(“This file was uploaded from “, “”)

return {“url”: direct_url, “location”: location, “success”: 1}

This uses BS4 to parse the webpage and look for the href download link we want, avoiding the manual way of just searching for the exact download_link_prefix. I would make a commit or merge, but it seems the 2 maintainers aren’t active on there anymore. Hope this helps anyone using the tool! Everything else in the tutorial (at least for downloading folders) should work fine.

Worked perfectly, thanks!

me neither

Not for me.
