Possible to script downloading from bitchute? Forum somewhere?

[Lew-Rockwell-Fan]

I can't seem to find a forum for either webtorrent or bitchute. If this is the wrong place to ask this, maybe you could point me in the right direction.

I want to use webtorrent from a bash script to download the media from the most recent magnet link on a particular bitchute page. The idea is that it will check once a day & download the newest media, ideally checking to see if it has already been downloaded or if it is less than 24 hours old. If this is possible, I'd appreciate a suggestion on what to read to get an idea how to do it. If it isn't possible, this is a
feature request. Thanks.

You have two ways to use WebTorrent for your use case:

1. The command line (see https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent-cli)

2. The JavaScript API (see https://webtorrent.io/docs)

You need to write code to do whatever logic you wish to obtain the magnet link. It sounds like you'll need to fetch the HTML page in question, search for a magnet link, check if it already exists on disk, then trigger WebTorrent to download it.

That last part is where you can invoke the webtorrent command line program, or use the WebTorrent Node.js API. See the documentation for each of these (linked above) for instructions on how to use them.
