How to pass a variable trough a wget command?












0















I have a login and password from a website that uses vimeo to host theirs videos.
I can watch the video when logged in the website, but I would like to watch them when offline.



So I decided to download the video using wget.
this is the code I am using:



wget --user=xxx@hotmail.com  --password=xxxxx      https://fresnel.vimeocdn.com/add/player-stats?session-id=398f05db2ff96e3ab6bd47dc85ff22415ee5a6711552836002


And that is the answer:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 405 Method Not Allowed
2019-03-17 11:55:38 ERROR 405: Method Not Allowed.


the URL i've got from the inspection tool:

The error is ERROR 405: Method Not Allowed.
I think I should pass a variable like session-id with wget.
i don't know.



What am I missing?

  • "Method not allowed" means your HTTP Method is incorrect, i.e. it seems like you do a GET request here while the API requires you to POST instead. Try with --method=POST or --post-data="user=xxx&password=yyy" or something like that.
