SSLD-videos

Downloads videos from the Swedish Sign Language dictionary.

Requires Python3 with package bs4.

Run the script from the command line with

./get_ssld_videos.py {search word(s)}

to search for the word in the SSLD and download hits.

The amount of search hits to download can be configured with -n or --num-hits:

./get_ssld_videos.py -n 4 anka räv

Searching for terms with spaces in them can be done by escaping the term in the shell:

./get_ssld_videos.py "dålig andedräkt" 10\ öre

Downloading one or more IDs from the SSLD can be done with the -i or --ids flag:

./get_ssld_videos.py -i 548 9943

Using the flag -S or --short-names will save the files using only the ID and file extension (e.g., 00001.mp4).

./get_ssld_videos.py -S Australien

TODO

  • Implement searching for names of signs instead of having to provide ID
