A Python script to download lectures from udemy.com.

Warning

Udemy has started to encrypt many of the course videos, so downloading them may be impossible/illegal because it involves decrypting DRM'd videos which opens up the author to DMCA takedowns/lawsuits. This repo is read-only now.

Prerequisites

• pip (Python Install Packager)
• Python module requests
