Coursera Offline

Ever wanted to download course videos from Coursera and got tired of pressing the download link for every video ? coursera_offline helps you download the videos in one go while maintaining the week structure so you don't have to sort the videos into different folders manually ! All you have to do is open up a terminal and type a simple command.

You can find the setup instructions here.

Simple Tutorial

  • Let's say you're registered to the Interactive Python course in Coursera. Go to the class url in any browser. It looks like this.

class.coursera.org/interactivepython-005.

The bold part changes for every course and this what the script needs to identify the course to download. Copy the bold part.

Note: Some courses require that you register to them to access the videos. So make sure you register to the course before using the script.

  • The videos of a particular course should belong to one folder. So create a new folder.
    Note: Use different folders for different courses.

  • Now open up a terminal. Change directory into the newly created folder. Run the following command to download the currently uploaded videos.

        coursera_offline -s interactivepython-005 -e <your email> -p <your password>
    

And that's it ! Your course videos are downloaded !
