It happens with every other course on edx.

wpav commented 3 years ago

I am getting the same error when I have used this package for a while...

zareami10 commented 3 years ago

Getting the same error, can't even list my courses let alone download.

mokandil commented 3 years ago

Same problem here.

THolding commented 3 years ago

I'm also getting this.

MATRIX30 commented 3 years ago

Having thesame problem too

ulissesBR commented 3 years ago

Same error here. Something is telling me that edx API's have changed, and the project has not been updated.

THolding commented 3 years ago

I'm not an author of the tool, but you can fix it by changing line 425 of edx_dl.py which specifies the User-Agent attribute of the http request header. Change 'User-Agent': 'edX-downloader/0.01', to 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0', and it will work.

Thanks fix works like magic

ichit commented 3 years ago

@THolding Thanks a lot. It works like magic indeed.

wpav commented 3 years ago

Worked for me too! Thank you!!

ulissesBR commented 3 years ago

Thank you! At first it didn't work for me because I was trying to run it using Python version 2.7. But when I did it using Python 3.8 it worked like a charm!

Unfortunately, it did not work me.
