A Python script to download lecture videos for a udemy.com course.

Prerequisites

• Python (2 or 3)
• pip (Python Install Packager)
• Python module requests
  • If missing, they will be automatically installed by pip

Preinstall

If you don't have pip installed, look at their install doc. Easy install (if you trust them) is to run their bootstrap installer directly by using:

sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python

Install

udemy-dl can be installed using pip

sudo pip install udemy-dl

Usage

Simply call udemy-dl with the full URL to the course page.

udemy-dl https://www.udemy.com/COURSE_NAME

udemy-dl will ask for your udemy username (email address) and password then start downloading the videos.

By default, udemy-dl will create a subdirectory based on the course name. If you wish to have the files downloaded to a specific location, use the -o /path/to/directory/ parameter.

If you wish, you can include the username/email and password on the command line using the -u and -p parameters.

udemy-dl -u user@domain.com -p $ecRe7w0rd https://www.udemy.com/COURSE_NAME

For information about all available parameters, use the --help parameter

udemy-dl --help

Uninstall

udemy-dl can be uninstalled using pip

sudo pip uninstall udemy-dl

You may uninstall the required requests module too but be aware that those might be required for other Python modules.
