(Solved) Are there any CLI tools that can download videos of websites?

Hiya, so looking to download videos of certain websites. So far been using https://www.downloadhelper.net/ extension to download the videos manually, but it turns into a very tedious process after a while. Looking for a way to automate this process :) Let me know if there are any tools, programs or solutions to grab stuff off the internet.

Yt-dlp?
If you want to download several videos on the same website, just write a python script in combination with the yt-dlp command. It’s not that hard.
- https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
- That and wget? https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files
- It supports downloading playlists on some websites and also supports reading a file with URLs.
- Figured it was YT specific, but will check it out in more detail - thanks :)
  
  It supports thousands of sites
