Video Download from Web via Airtop Browser

# Automated video download from web page using Airtop and n8n

This automation template solves the challenge of reliably extracting video files from web pages that require user interaction (e.g., clicking a download button). Triggered manually, it uses Airtop’s virtual browser to simulate real user behavior, enabling seamless media retrieval. Ideal for integration into content pipelines or data collection workflows.
