With this embedded URL, it is possible, to download rumble.com videos. $rumble_url = 'https://rumble.com/vur7ah-samantha-kistner-im-gesprch.html' $rumble_response = invoke-webRequest $rumble_url $rumble_response.content -match '(https://rumble.com/embed/[^"]+)' youtube-dl --no-check-certificate $matches[1]
