Aparat Video Downloader Script

This script is made to download best quality available for videos from aparat.com. Needs two libraries to function and you can simply install it using this command:

pip install tqdm requests

tqdm is used for generating progress bar, and requests is used for sending requests for downloading videos. The whole code is fully commented for ones who like to study or expand it further.

Downloading Playlists

If you are trying to download a playlist from aparat.com you'll have a link like https://www.aparat.com/playlist/7382665, navigate to the link in your browser and run this code in the console after the page fully loaded.

videoHashes = [];
$$("ul.playlist-list a.titled-link.thumb.default.video-playlist").forEach(a =>
  videoHashes.push(
    a.href
      .replace("https://www.aparat.com/v/", "")
      .replace("?playlist=" + window.location.toString().split("/")[4], "")
  )
);
outputString = "";
videoHashes.forEach(item => (outputString += item + ","));
console.log(outputString.slice(0, -1));

Then you'll get a list of comma separated video hashes like this:

q42nvs6,y808x93,d0VO3,f99579n,m2jke,g33i4zn,Q3baw,f92634d,z759rsu,m917y15,r45og2d,UIx5z,z763oyd,h25bzi7,w59r97s,b6601wi,Mdbna,f35w177,l51tn6z,a067src,a800tya,rfLTF,47yY3,TBMg0

Then in powershell or command prompt run this code:

python playlist_downloader.py q42nvs6,y808x93,d0VO3,f99579n,m2jke,g33i4zn,Q3baw,f92634d,z759rsu,m917y15,r45og2d,UIx5z,z763oyd,h25bzi7,w59r97s,b6601wi,Mdbna,f35w177,l51tn6z,a067src,a800tya,rfLTF,47yY3,TBMg0

It will download the best quality available for all the videos into a folder named downloads and shows a beautiful progress bar for each download.

Downloading Single Video

For a single video your URL looks like https://www.aparat.com/v/sqy0yxq which contains the base address https://www.aparat.com/v/ and video hash which in this example is sqy0yxq.

Simply copy the video hash and run this command in your powershell or command prompt:

python playlist_downloader.py sqy0yxq

It will download the best quality available for the video into a folder named downloads and shows a beautiful progress bar for download.

Naming Output Files

This script tries to use video titles as their respective file names, you can edit or change file names by uncommenting line 44 and changing it to your will, for example what I did for one session was the titles were all looked like this:

‫فصل 1 سریال ویچر قسمت 5 | The Witcher دوبله فارسی

But I wanted it to be like SXXEXX which is Season XX Episode XX, so as I knew it has 3 seasons and each season has 8 episodes I used this template S0XE0X and the season number was at index 4 and episode number was at index 22 so I added:

title = f"S0{title[4]}E0{title[22]}

You can change this line according to your video titles as you please or leave it commented for the full title as file names.
