I have a question:

Is there any way to run a chrome extension with javascript? My idea is to create a code that receives a link and automatically executes a chrome extension that what it does is detect a Vimeo video and download it ... My intention is to stop doing the manual process of downloading video by video because I want to download several ... that's why I want to know first if I can run a chrome extension with javascript.

Thank you

  • Chrome extensions are build in Javascript. You can use content script that runs only for vimeo. Put your logic in the content script. – Aefits Oct 25 '18 at 05:09
  • To clarify, are you asking to trigger an existing 3rd-party extension with JS? Then the likely answer is no.. – Xan Oct 25 '18 at 10:29

Actually, you should be able to do this without specifically javascript. If you're okay with using python, you can use the selenium package, which allows you to load Chrome options and extensions. StackOverflow link
