Description
Simple program to download a Udemy course, has support for DRM videos but requires the user to aquire the decryption key (for legal reasons).
Current only Windows is supported but with some small modifications it should work on linux also (and maybe mac)
Requirements
- You would need to download
ffmpeg
andmp4decrypter
from Bento4 SDK and ensure they are in path (typing their name in cmd invokes them).
Usage
quick and dirty how-to
You will need to get a few things before you can use this program:
- Decryption Key ID
- Decryption Key
- Udemy Course URL
- Udemy Bearer Token
Setting up
- rename
.env.sample
to.env
(you only need to do this if you plan to use the .env file to store your bearer token) - rename
keyfile.example.json
tokeyfile.json
Aquire bearer token
- open dev tools
- go to network tab
- in the search field, enter
api-2.0/courses
- click a random request
- locate the
Request Headers
section - copy the the text after
Authorization
, it should look likeBearer xxxxxxxxxxx
- enter this in the
.env
file afterUDEMY_BEARER=
(you can also pass this as an argument, see advanced usage for more information)
Key ID and Key
It is up to you to aquire the key and key id. Please don't ask me for help acquiring these, decrypting DRM protected content can be considered piracy.
Start Downloading
You can now run python main.py
to start downloading. The course will download to out_dir
, chapters are seperated into folders.
