use WWW::NicoVideo::Download; my $client = WWW::NicoVideo::Download->new( email => 'your-email@example.com', password => 'PASSWORD', ); $client->download("smNNNNNN", &callback); DESCRIPTION
WWW::NicoVideo::Download is a module to login, request and download video files from Nico Nico Douga. METHODS

Required if the User Agent object doesn't have the valid session or cookie to login to the site. user_agent Sets and gets LWP::UserAgent object to use to send HTTP requests to nicovideo.jp server. If you want to reuse the browser Cookie that has the signed-in state, you can set the Cookie to the UserAgent object here. # use Safari sesssions use HTTP::Cookies::Safari; my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies::Safari->new( file => "$ENV{HOME}/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist", ); my $client = WWW::NicoVideo::Download->new; $client->user_agent->cookie_jar( $cookie_jar ); download $client->download($video_id, $file_path); Prepares the download by logging in and requesting the FLV API, and then download the video file. The second parameter is passed to LWP::UserAgent's request() method, so you can pass either local file path to be saved, or a callback function. prepare_download my $url = $client->prepare_download($video_id); Prepares the download and returns the URL of the actual video.
