I downloaded a HAR but it does not contain data from third party trackers such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter. I can see the files load on the network tab buy they are not included in the HAR file when I dowload it. Does anyone know why this might be the case and how I can work around it?

I am using a website which has short video clips (10-15 seconds). I want to download those video clips but when I Right Click -> Copy Video Address, it copies a blob link (blob:https://www.getstoryclips.com/3055dd66-9764-45fe-a1c5-f932ec57ae25). Now I have done some research on blob links and understand that chrome uses blobs to save data on the client side locally.
Which naturally brings me to this problem, If chrome has already downloaded those videos in the form of blobs, how can I get those videos from chrome's local blob storage? I tried searching Google Chrome's local directories but did not find anything there. Does Google Chrome restrict access to its blob storage or am I missing something else here?
I had a similar question when I downloaded a zip from Mega.nz who also store it as a blob. For some reason however after I chose where to save it to, it didn't materialise there. There was no file? Instead of downloading the entire zip again I searched the browser directory for large files (since it was quite large) and found only one, the exact size of my intended zip.
It was in \profile\data\File System\002\p\00\ and was called "00000000" I copied it and renamed it to a zip and I could view it's contents fine. So the blob files ARE indeed stored locally until you clear the websites cache.
So you might be able to clear your entire browsers cache then watch one of those videos then search around in the "File System" folder and see if you can find it. Then rename it to .mp4 or .ts or whatever.
I am trying to build a Google Chrome Extension which does the following -
1) Gets activated when someone visits my site say http://example.com
2) When someone downloads a file from my site , http://example.com, it starts monitoring that file for changes.
3) If the user edits and saves that file, it uploads the modified file back to the system.
My site is a niche document management system for a particular industry. Users dont want to downloads files, edit and then re-upload again. They want the files to be uploaded as soon as they save on their side. Its mostly for .docx, .xlsx files.
I tried to look at the Google chrome apis, but couldnt locate the appropriate ones. Any help would be useful.
Thanks!
As per your description, I believe chrome.downloads is what you want.
Use the chrome.downloads API to programmatically initiate, monitor, manipulate, and search for downloads.
To monitor, you could listen to chrome.downloads.onCreated and chrome.downloads.onChanged
Suppose I open a web application and I want to get the details of all links,images and videos loaded in a HAR file from the Network panel of Google Chrome Developer Tools, how do i automate it?
Take a look at devtools.network.getHAR, you could use chrome.devtools.network.getHAR to get HAR log that contains all known network requests.
I've prepared and published on my website an installer package with the software I developed. The package is compiled and bundled into .exe file using WiX toolset and contains no viruses or malware. Next when I try to download the file I get a notification from Chrome that it's blocked due to malicious content.
Malicious content warning
I'm really upset that my customers being misinformed with such warning. Any ideas how to get around it?
Google created this page for developers - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/3258249.
Even though it doesn't say it on there, almost all auto-detection software will not block software that is digitally signed (and there is no bad reputation associated with the signing certificate).
If it's a simple file, just upload it to Google Drive or DropBox, and generate a public link for it and then share it on your website.
You can also shorten that link, if your application provide this service, or via goo.gl, in order to view clicks' count.
If any developer come across this issue, I manage to resolve it by streaming the downloadable file instead, via different URL (which doesn't have the file name and its extension with file's full path on your hosting).
Doing so by manipulating the response header, will fix the issue.
Here is a useful link about streaming a downloadable via php script
Is it possible to get the HAR (HTTP Archive) for a page from the google chrome extension? I want to get how long it takes to load a website with my plugin.
You can use chrome.devtools.network to get the HAR file as per
http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/devtools.network.html
Are you asking to get the HAR data of your extension, or are you asking about geting the load time of a browser using your plugin? Either way, Google Developer Tools -> Network -> right click, save HAR file.
