Notes
- Only works with public LinkedIn posts that contain video.
- No authentication or API keys needed.
- Zero external dependencies — built entirely with Go's standard library.
- Videos are downloaded from LinkedIn's CDN (
dms.licdn.com) at the best available quality. - Downloads use a temporary
.tmpfile and rename on completion — safe to interrupt without leaving corrupt files. - Output filename is derived from the post URL slug (truncated to 80 chars).
- If a file with the same name already exists, the download is skipped to avoid overwriting.
- Progress bar is shown during download with percentage, downloaded size, and total size.
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install linkedin-video-dl - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/linkedin-video-dl - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
