Numerade Video Viewer

Active Development Update

This project is now actively maintained with two ways to access Numerade videos:

1. Discord Bot (Recommended): Join our Discord server to use the bot! Simply use the /numerade command with any Numerade video URL.

2. Self-Hosted API: The deployment branch contains the API that powers the Discord bot. You can deploy it to Vercel using your own Numerade premium credentials:

   • Fork this repository
   • Set up a Vercel project
   • Create a free Redis database at Redis
   • Add your credentials as environment variables:

     NUMERADE_EMAIL=your_premium_email
     NUMERADE_PASSWORD=your_premium_password
     REDIS_HOST=redis-your_public_endpoint
     REDIS_PASSWORD=your_default_user_password
     

   • Deploy the deployment branch

Original Project Description

The Numerade Video Viewer is a web application designed to provide easy access to Numerade videos without the need for a subscription. It serves as a proof of concept (POC) for a scraper that can bypass the subscription requirements on the Numerade platform.

Easy to Use: Simply input the URL of the Numerade question, and the video viewer will retrieve the video for you. Bypass Subscription: This tool allows you to access Numerade's video content without needing a subscription.

Option 1: Web Application

1. Open the Numerade Video Viewer website by cloning this repository to your machine.
2. In the input box, paste the URL of the Numerade question you want to view. The URL should start with https://www.numerade.com/questions/ or https://www.numerade.com/ask/question/.
3. Click the Submit button to process the link.
4. The video will be displayed on the screen if available. You can watch it directly within the web application.

Option 2: Userscript

Alternatively, you can use the Numerade Video Viewer as a userscript. This allows you to automatically fetch and display the unlocked video directly on the Numerade question page.

1. Install a userscript manager extension like Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey in your browser.
2. Click on the "Install Userscript" button above to install the userscript.
3. Navigate to a valid Numerade question page, and the userscript will automatically execute, fetching and displaying the unlocked video where there would normally be a static paywall image.
