Z Downloads Log: Logs Chrome downloads API events
Z Downloads Log is a free Chrome extension developed by Giuliano Procida (CWS) in the Browsers category under the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension wraps the Chrome downloads API and provides download information in the form of a JSON file.
The main purpose of Z Downloads Log is to make the raw JSON information from the Chrome downloads API easily accessible. It does this by populating an IndexedDB with current downloads information upon installation. Additionally, it listens to updates to downloads and logs these updates to the database.
If you are not interested in examining the raw JSON information provided by Chrome or working with downloads data, then this extension may not be suitable for you. However, if you require access to the download information in a JSON format, Z Downloads Log allows you to download the information as downloads.json by simply clicking on the extension.
It is important to note that Z Downloads Log does not send or receive any data, nor does it perform any actions beyond what has been described above. The extension solely logs the updates to the JavaScript console.
Version History:
- : This version only grabs a full downloads snapshot upon the initialization of the database.
- : Renamed everything from 'dd' to 'dl', updated the logo to 'DL', added a missing semicolon, and included an ISO date time in the download file name.
- : Switched to logging events instead of processing them due to buggy event handling. The extension was also renamed to match this change.
- : Initial version of Z Downloads Log.
