#### 💡 **Description** :

This Udemy Downloader tool allows users to download Udemy courses, including DRM-protected content. However, **decryption keys** are required to download DRM-encrypted courses. This tool is in **WIP (Work in Progress)** status, and the code is provided **as-is**. Windows is the primary development environment, but Linux is also supported. Mac is **untested**.

> ⚠ **Disclaimer** : Downloading Udemy courses violates their Terms of Service, and the author is not responsible for any legal or account-related consequences.

* * *

#### ⚙ **Features** :

- Download Udemy courses (including DRM-protected ones).
- Support for downloading videos, captions, quizzes, and assets.
- Works primarily on Windows, but Linux is also supported.
- Multiple language support for captions.
- Advanced options for customizing downloads (video quality, concurrency, browser-based cookie extraction, etc.).

* * *

#### 🛠 **Requirements** :

Before using this tool, ensure you have the following installed on your system (manual installation required):

- **Python 3**
- **ffmpeg**  
_(Recommended custom build from yt-dlp for better performance)_  
[Latest ffmpeg builds](https://github.com/yt-dlp/FFmpeg-Builds)
- **aria2**
- **shaka-packager**
- **yt-dlp** _(Can be installed via pip: `pip install yt-dlp`)_

* * *

#### 📝 **Setup Instructions** :

1. **Download the repository** and navigate to the folder.
2. Rename `.env.sample` to `.env` if you want to store your Bearer Token in the `.env` file.
3. Rename `keyfile.example.json` to `keyfile.json`.
4. Add your **Bearer Token** in `.env` or pass it as an argument.
5. Enter your **Decryption Key ID** and **Decryption Key** into `keyfile.json`.

> **Note** : You need to **manually obtain the decryption keys** to download DRM-protected content. The developer cannot help with key acquisition.

* * *

#### 🚀 **How to Use** :

You will need the following to start downloading:

- **Udemy Course URL**
- **Bearer Token** (access token)
- **Decryption Key** (for DRM-protected content)
- **Udemy Cookies** (for subscription-based content)

Once you have everything, run the following command:

```bash
python main.py -c <Course URL> -b <Bearer Token>

```

> Example:  
> `python main.py -c https://www.udemy.com/courses/samplecourse -b <Bearer Token>`

* * *

#### 💼 **Advanced Usage** :

- **Specify Download Quality** :  
`python main.py -c <Course URL> -q 720`

- **Download Assets** :  
`python main.py -c <Course URL> --download-assets`

- **Download Captions (English)**:  
`python main.py -c <Course URL> --download-captions`

- **Download Captions (All Languages)**:  
`python main.py -c <Course URL> --download-captions -l all`

- **Skip Videos, Download Captions Only** :  
`python main.py -c <Course URL> --skip-lectures --download-captions`

- **Log Debug Info** :  
`python main.py -c <Course URL> --log-level DEBUG`

For more options and details, check the full documentation in the [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/Puyodead1/udemy-downloader).

* * *

#### ⚠ **Important Notes** :

- **This tool will not work on encrypted courses** without valid **decryption keys**.
- **Cookies are required** only for subscription-based courses.
- Automatic **caption downloading is currently broken** due to changes in Udemy’s API.
- Be aware of **legal risks** involved in downloading Udemy content. You are responsible for your actions, and the developer is not liable for any legal consequences.

* * *
