Script to extract m3u8 file from URL (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'd like to write a script to download videos from streamingcommunity.estate from a given video URL, and to do this I need the m3u8 file url. Currently I manually go to the network tab to search for it, but I'd like the script to do this automatically. Do you know of a way to achieve this? Bash or Python if possible, otherwise any other method will do fine. Thanks in advance!

I actually use yd-dlp to download m3u8 playlists, but what I'm looking for is a way to extract the m3u8 file URL, so that I can give it to ytdlp to download the actual video

I'll look into the extractor docs, seems interesting! Thanks!
