Create a file coursera-dl.conf in the same directory of the coursera-dl with the text below:
--username <email_here>
--password <passwd_here>
--subtitle-language en
--cauth

cauth value will be available only if you login to coursera and then check in cookies.

I have the same problem.

@mararkeri - Thank you for those links however, to be clear, login using cauth works when you download a specific course/ciourses, but not when you try to list your current courses using --list-courses

No, you won't have permission to push code to this repository.

Instead you submit a pull request that bundles up the changes that you have made to your repository. Then the devs here can review the changes you've made and decide whether to accept it or not.

Is the current version supposed to fix

coursera.cookies.AuthenticationFailed: Cannot login on coursera.org: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://api.coursera.org/api/login/v3

when using --list-courses?
I added file coursera-dl.conf as instructed above, and it was enough to solve the problem when downloading material.
But --list-courses still produces the issue above for me.

Is cauth still supposed to solve the problem? I tried following the instructions here using version 0.11.4 but I get:

coursera-dl: error: unrecognized arguments: --cauth=XKJD-...

If I correctly understood cauth option was added from version 0.11.5, so I retried re-installing from scratch in a new environment but still 0.11.4 seem to be the latest version found. Then I also tried downloading 0.11.5 zip file from github but surprisingly I still see: coursera_dl version 0.11.4 when I launch coursera-dl command. However, this time the coursera python package is on the expected version:

>>> import coursera
>>> coursera.__version__
'0.11.4'

Do you have any suggestion?

I found that auth function aren't applied to --list-courses . Please check this https://github.com/zorone/coursera-dl. I have fix that long time ago. But beacause it doesn't pass test cases, so I didn't commit it to the project. Give it a try.

Just for the record, you need to provide your CAUTH value after --cauth. This can be taken from the CAUTH cookie after logging into Chrome from your browser
