| 1 <p>The downloads API allows you to programmatically initiate downloads. In the | |
| 2 future, you will also be able to monitor and manipulate downloads.</p> | |
| 3 | |
| 4 <h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2> | |
| 5 | |
| 6 <p>The downloads API is currently experimental, so you must declare the | |
| 7 "experimental" permission to use it. Also, you must specify the hostname of any | |
| 8 URLs to be downloaded. For example:</p> | |
| 9 | |
| 10 <pre>{ | |
| 11 "name": "Download Selected Links", | |
| 12 "description": "Select links on a page and download them.", | |
| 13 "version": "0.1", | |
| 14 "permissions": [ | |
| 15 "experimental", "http://*/*", "https://*/*" | |
| 16 ] | |
| 17 }</pre> | |
| 18 | |
| 19 <p>If the URL’s hostname is not specified in the permissions, then | |
| 20 <a href='extension.html#property-lastError'>chrome.extension.lastError</a> | |
| 21 will indicate that the extension does not have permission to access that | |
| 22 hostname. <a href="#properties">downloads.ERROR_*</a> are some of the errors | |
| 23 that may be returned.</p> | |
| 24 | |
