One could imagine that having a collection of heuristics to allow getting a proper direct link to file which can be fed to curl or something (just as youtube-dl does for videos) nicely packaged into a command-line tool would be quite nice: file sharing websites all too often try to make you go through JS, ads or whatever. It'd also seem that that's a pretty obvious idea.So, are there any projects like this?
(For reference, when I had the need, I just went and made a solution for my specific case (https://github.com/wldhx/yadisk-direct) and am now wondering if there're any standards out there like ytdl is.)
