Question

Python

I'm trying to download a video from the data received from GetHistoryAttachments - this is the dictionary for each video it returns

But, neither requests, nor youtube_dl nor urlib gave the desired result (the experiments were set on the link "player"

link

https://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=385853505&id=4562...

)
Perhaps there is some other way to download? If I don't know how to google, please provide a link to where you can read about it

NOTE: Videos in the public domain are of little interest to me. Only what users send in HP.
