403 Forbidden #539

Closed chukked closed 3 years ago

chukked commented 3 years ago

just now, i used both the methods

-u username -p password and cookie

but both are returning 403 Forbidden is it not possible to download the course anymore at all as they are invalidating the request all together

[*] : Trying to login using cookies ... [+] : Logged in successfully. [-] : Udemy Says : 403 Forbidden You should use cookie base method to authenticate or try again in few minutes ...

Try this 1) Log out of your udemy from all browsers and log in again 2) Now copy the fresh token and replace it in the cookie.txt file now it should work

i too had faced this issue once where it gave 403 error with cookies but using a fresh cookie -access token worked well

r0oth3x49 commented 3 years ago

@chukked you should update the cookies instead or access token

chukked commented 3 years ago

thank you, it is working now :)

@r0oth3x49 i have 2 suggestions

1) Since login through username and password is now depreciated , you should remove the -u and -p flags from readme and mention clearly that only cookies login is supported ( because new users might not know only 1 method works , so they may create issue after trying -u,-p authentication )

2) Even if someone uses cookies , there is chance that they may get error 403 Forbidden... , so you can mention these steps in readme - https://github.com/r0oth3x49/udemy-dl/issues/539#issuecomment-663841172 .

Then anyone wont report authentication related issues and only other real issues will get reported
