Does anyone here have any experience crawling a media website with their media in json "link/files"?

Would it be possible to pull the actual links out of the json file?

Basically a streaming website gets their links from 3 or 4 hosts, to save myself time of going to those 3/4 hosts and pulling the links myself I was wondering if I could "piggy back" the links from the streaming site.
 
I'm not experienced at all with javascript, I wouldn't know where to begin tbh.
 
You don't really need to know javascript. It's just an organized textfile. Like a database.

You'd run it through a script and clean it up leaving just the data you want. For example you'd want to clean it up of all the syntax and code layout so it becomes a plain textfile. Then remove everything that isn't a URL from your whitelisted websites.

There's more intelligent ways to do it, where you could call specific data. But you need to know how to script.

Thanks for that information, I will for sure look into it!
