When you click “Play” on a video on Twitter, your web browser (on your phone or desktop) essentially asks Twitter for a small file that contains addresses to small, medium, and large versions of the video you’d like to play. But first, let’s try to understand what happens when you load a Tweet that contains a video player, or rather, a thumbnail with a “Play” button on top. Today I will share with you how I downloaded a video from Twitter. I’ve updated my script to be more concise. Update 2: Twitter has made more changes to their m3u8 file format. For reasons of which one would still like to learn about downloading m3u8 videos and stitching them together, I’m leaving this up.

They are now using a JavaScript method that obfuscates the video URL via a blob mechanic. Update 1: It appears that Twitter has changed their scheme in how they display videos.
