How to call FDM from python?
How to call FDM from python?
I want to download multiple files in a python script. I have the list of urls in the python script. How can I call FDM from python such that running that line adds the download in FDM in background?

Hello,
You can add a download using command line.
Unfortunately, there is no option to force the silent mode.
As a workaround, you can enable Preferences | Browser Integration | Start download without confirmation option.
Then, you can add a download using: fdm.exe "URL".

Hi, thanks for the response! Can you specify if there are other command line arguments that I can pass? I want to pass some extra parameters in the header/cookie without which the download is not authenticated. Directly downloading the link from the browser works well but not using the command line interface "fdm --url {url}".

Hi again,
It seems like I mostly need to set the user-agent through the command line. I tried "--user-agent" but that doesn't seem to work. Could you please tell the correct argument?
