I'm trying to add support to SkillShare, but I'm not a Python dev and the hardest bit is that they have reCaptcha on login page. They also enable login with facebook, I'm not sure if that helps.

Besides the login, it's quite easy to implement the download.

All courses come with a data-account and the course-id.
They also have some API response as JSON inside the HTML. If you search for "videoId":"bc:, you'll find what they call videoID, which should be a number.

You also need the data-account or brightcoveAccountId. In that case, the easist way is get from the video html via data-account:
<video class="vjs-video" data-account="{data-account}">...</video>

You can also get from the JSON, if you search for brightcoveAccountId.

With that said, you can call their open API, following this pattern:
https://edge.api.brightcove.com/playback/v1/accounts/{data-account}/videos/{course-id}

If you try the URL https://www.skillshare.com/classes/JavaScript-Complete-Guide-to-learning-JavaScript/1391908967, you'll get the { data-account: 3695997568001 } and from the "videoId":"bc:, you get the { videoId: 5042560812001 }.

converts to: https://edge.api.brightcove.com/playback/v1/accounts/3695997568001/videos/5042560812001

If the course is free, they'll give you a json with the videos of the course. Otherwise, I believe we need to get a premium account and should be the same.

Eq:

So you can just download all the source.src videos.

At the mean time, @jaan143, you can download with wget

wget https://udso-a.akamaihd.net/3695997568001/3695997568001_5042638008001_5042560812001.mp4?pubId=3695997568001&videoId=5042560812001 -o test.mp4

Hope that helps

Hi @jaan143, try this Chrome App. It worked fine for me: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nbkekaeindpfpcoldfckljplboolgkfm

jaan143 · 2017-03-24T17:54:56Z

sadly to say 9 months gone and still my request is pending

haamedk · 2017-06-29T21:28:00Z

Does anyone have access to a premium account I can borrow for testing?

rex97 · 2017-08-12T07:47:29Z

Hey @haamedk I have !!! You can get from me !

bittaurus · 2017-09-01T02:05:56Z

They are having a special right now for 1 week. You can get 3 months of premium as a trial for $0.99 USD.

https://www.skillshare.com/membership/checkout?via=site-banner&coupon=SITESCHOOL

I'm going to buy into it, I do hope someone adds support to youtube-dl. It is my fav download tool.

I just gave them my dollar, and it looks like they have a referral program. If you miss the $0.99 special, you can get 2 months free trial of premium with a credit card and can cancel before the 2 months to avoid being charged. http://skl.sh/2ena6IZ

Full disclosure: I really want youtube-dl to work with this site. This site might work by using cookies after logging in through the captcha. Either that or maybe a service like 9kw.eu to solve the captchas.

bittaurus · 2017-09-02T02:56:02Z

Today, I'm wishing I knew more python. Skillshare uses BrightcoveExperience, which is already written and existing plugins use it. If someone wants to do this, I've put up a $20 bounty on bountysource. I know it's not much, and I wish I could pay a coder what they are worth, but hey, OSS doesn't usually pay that much I suppose. You have my appreciation in advance. Thanks guys for all your hard efforts. I'm off to go watch some python videos. If you need to test things with my premium account, let me know.

Oshawk · 2018-05-30T13:48:50Z

#16582 Should provide support for skillshare!

HAKSOAT · 2018-12-21T16:05:26Z

Is this done yet?

Oshawk · 2018-12-21T16:32:31Z

@HAKSOAT It should be but they seem not to want to merge my fork.

HAKSOAT · 2018-12-21T16:36:42Z

That's strange

chrisspiegl · 2019-02-06T13:12:42Z

I'd love to see skillshare support for those times I want to learn something new while I am traveling with less or no internet! Thank you for the work on the pull request @Oshawk — how about adding it in here? Anyone?

Thank you 💪.

pendave · 2019-06-11T04:50:43Z

The tutorials on skillshare are great, but the youtube-dl support for this site isn't there anyway. And other direct download tool is not developed yet.

I just create a Greasymonkey userscript which can help downloading, but also not that conviniet.

Could you share Greasymonkey javascript codes?

Yeah share the greasemonkey script and if also any tips for using it. thanks.

Abhinav1217 · 2019-09-06T03:48:13Z

I wished this was now available since udemy playlist can be downloaded easily and skillshare is also using brightcove which is already working in youtube-dl. As far as login is concerned, For Udemy, We need to use a browser plugin to extract the cookie file which then is used by youtube-dl to make requests pretending to be browser. Maybe that can be done here too.

There is a working repo on github which is working on single videos, It doesn't uses youtube-dl in background so it looses a lot of functionality and features. Maybe that repo can be used as reference here.
