README.md - Extracting Cookies / Request Headers is unclear

[morkeltry]

Now click on My Courses in the Udemy navbar and refresh the page you will see some requests under Network Tab.
Right click on request links to udemy.com/api-2.0/. Simply copy Request Headers and save to text file.

These instructions really are not clear.
I would suggest to improve "Right click on request links to udemy.com/api-2.0/" to specify which request link to udemy.com/api-2.0/ - if any one is OK, then specify that.
"Simply copy Request Headers and save to text file.": there are Request Headers displayed lower down in Dev Tools. To specify that you can save the headers via the right click context menu: "Right click on... and select 'Copy Request Headers' from the context menu".
"and save to text file." -> "The headers are now in the clipboard. Paste them into a text file and save it to the udemy-dl directory"

So far so good?

Now the next point I cannot suggest a phrasing for as I could not work out what the instruction is trying to do.
"Done run the udemy-dl against that text file it will start downloading the course."

What does it mean to run udemy-dl "against" a text file?
I cannot see any option to use a text file as parameters to udemy-dl .

Does it rip off any course or do I have to own it?

[tavitooo]

[tavitooo]

[Raqibur-Rahman]

It says "python: can't open file 'udemy-dl.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"

[noorbala7418]

you should go to udemy-dl directory.with command ' ls ' you can see script on the terminal.then you can run udemy-dl.py with this command:
python udemy-dl link -k cookieFile.txt

hi, get this warning: It seems either you are not enrolled or you have to visit the course atleast once while you are logged in.
But I am sure I have logged in and also visit the course already, any tips?

@S-Tangg did you manage to download course other than the one you are facing the error?

[matthewmerks]

Can confirm this works. Followed this now after receiving a 403 and access_token cleared the error and allowed downloads to resume.

[gkpavan]

[osazemeu]

[Raqibur-Rahman]

Sorry,I didn't understand.Will you please say it again?

[azmatsiddique]

[Ocolus1]

Note that encoding of cookie.txt must be ANSI. On non-latin's system, default encoding of new created .txt files may be UTF8, took me a little to troubleshoot.

[shubham0804]

In the cookies it says that the access_token expires in about a month. Would a new access token have to be entered in udemy-dl when the current one expires?

definitely you should if you want udemy-dl to work.

Hi, when i iuse
python udemy-dl.py -k cookies.txt URL
get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):

Merhaba,
python udemy-dl.py -k cookie.txt URL'sini kullandığımda
bu hatayı alıyorum Geri
İzleme (en son çağrı son):

Hepsinin bir çözümü var ama benim senden önceki yanıtımda dediğim olmazsa hiçbir anlamı yok!,ve zaten udemydeki kursları indirmek için normal programlar var bu kadar uğraşmaya gerek yok (benim dediğim olmadığı sürece) çünkü bu zımbırtı sadece satın aldığımız kursları indirebiliyor benim dediğim olmadıgı sürece bir anlamı yok!!

[abedevjs]

Hi, when i iuse
.....

try this python udemy-dl.py -k cookies

[ghost]

All of them have a solution, but it doesn't make any sense unless I said in my previous answer!, and there are already normal programs to download courses on udemy, no need to try so hard (as I said.

[sounroy]

you should go to udemy-dl directory.with command ' ls ' you can see script on the terminal.then you can run udemy-dl.py with this command:
