Khan Academy Static Downloader

Khan Academy Static Downloader is a script that uses the Khan Academy API to download all video lectures from their website.

The script then automatically creates a static html website.

Why make a script and download all the videos?

Because the people who need these the most are the people without Internet access

Why make a 'static' html website?

So that the entire video 'library' from Khan Academy can be made available to people using the most minimal piece of hardware.

• A simple WiFi router with a USB port to serve static web-pages
• A flash drive

Demo

Check out https://zubairlk.github.io/ka-static-demo/

Usage

Run two scripts

./dl_and_create.py
./bootstrap.sh

The static HTML website will be availble in the Khan_Academy folder.

Use the in built python webserver to check

cd Khan_Academy
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Then open your browser and go to address localhost:8000

Todo

• Add support for a command line parameter to actually download all videos. At the moment, it simply creates a static html website that points to the youtube urls
