ethics

cobalt is a tool that makes downloading public content easier. it takes zero liability. the end user is responsible for what they download, how they use and distribute that content. cobalt never caches any content, it works like a fancy proxy.

cobalt is in no way a piracy tool and cannot be used as such. it can only download free & publicly accessible content. same content can be downloaded via dev tools of any modern web browser.

这是什么东西?cobalt 是一个没有任何广告、跟踪器或付费墙的媒体下载工具:你粘贴一个视频或歌曲的链接,拿到文件,然后就完事了。
它是我访问的网站,还是我要安装的程序?它是一个开源的 monorepo:包含你在浏览器里打开的网页前端、背后的 API,以及存放公共代码的共享包。
我可以运行自己的实例吗?可以。文档详细说明了如何运行和保护一个 cobalt 实例,并列出了 API 的环境变量,仓库还会在 CI 中构建 Docker 镜像。
它也能下载私密或付费墙后的视频吗?不能。它绝不是盗版工具:只能下载免费且公开可访问的内容——也就是你浏览器开发者工具同样能获取的那些文件。
cobalt 会保存我下载的媒体文件的副本吗?不会。它从不缓存任何内容,工作方式就像一个高级代理——文件从源地址直接传给你。
它免费使用吗?许可证里有什么限制?没有任何限制:除非另有说明,仓库采用 AGPL-3.0 许可证,api 和 web 部分在各自的 README 里写明了许可细节。
它支持哪些网站?根据仓库的 GitHub 主题标签:YouTube、Instagram、TikTok、Twitter、Reddit、SoundCloud、Vimeo 和 VK。
cobalt 是用什么开发的?网页应用使用 Svelte 和 TypeScript 编写,仓库要求 pnpm 9 或更高版本,镜像则由 Docker 构建。
如果有人下载了不该下载的东西,责任在谁?在最终用户。cobalt 声明它不承担任何责任,你下载什么、如何使用或分发,都由你自己负责。
