I'm trying to reuse a video block for a different purpose with javascript. Is it possible somehow to get a full link to video source via code or by other means (e.g. asset library)?

 

Currently video source in html is shown as a blob: 

<video src="blob:https://website-los-angeles.squarespace.com/ac379584-faf4-48a1-b350-2a88216df79b" playsinline="" webkit-playsinline="" data-poster="https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/55f9c8c4e4b09104215bfc07/6b464599-d27c-4311-91da-015f05522614/thumbnail" ></video>

Basically, hosted videos in squarespace are delivered as HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). You can find their URL by following these below steps:

1. Open the dev tool from browser

2. Hover the video element and find video block

3. Get data in attribute "data-poster"

4. Replace the slug /thumbnail with /playlist.m3u8 to get the right URL for hosted video
