UPDATE: Evreything is working now, I was using an old version of the script that i got from apt!

[dikadk]

I can confirm that I have the same issue with downloading courses from Udemy. I use the latest version and I'm on HighSierra.

[giacomocerquone]

@dikadk It's strange, are you sure are you using the latest version? I've no problem on windows, but the two OS shouldn't differ

[jyounus]

I'm having the same error, here's my output with the --dump-pages command (I had to use an external service because of reaching the max number of characters in this comment): https://paste.ee/p/6qF6K

I'm running the latest version of youtube-dl on High Sierra.

I do have kind similar issue. But to me is strange as once I did write:

youtube-dl -u email -p Password Link/content

it then on the next line put something strange as

youtube-dl -u email -p Password+someotherstring Link/content

I tried without -u and -p but bring me the following

Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 403: Unauthorized (caused by HTTPError());

[TCarmine]

I had a look to my local udemy-dl and found that the code that is failing seems the following:

def get_csrf_token(): """Extractig CSRF Token from login page.""" try: response = session.get('https://www.udemy.com/join/login-popup') match = re.search(r"name='csrfmiddlewaretoken'\s+value='(.)'", response.text) return match.group(1) except AttributeError: session.get('http://www.udemy.com/user/logout') response = session.get('https://www.udemy.com/join/login-popup') match = re.search(r"name='csrfmiddlewaretoken'\s+value='(.)'", response.text) return match.group(1)

[TCarmine]

So seems the that part fail to get the CSRF Token.

Could be udemy changed the Token?

[TCarmine]

Just to clarify I got the previous error not running youtube-dl but udemy-dl that is the only one that prompt to give userName and Password. Unfortunately the youtube-dl add that extra string to the password.

[ewarner9]

how do you use udemy-dl? when I try that it is not a recognized command. I am getting a similar error trying to login...

I also get this error:

ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 403: Unauthorized (caused by <HTTPError 403: 'Unauthorized'>);

Has there been any progress at this?

[TCarmine]

@ewarner9 I am on Ubuntu 18.04 though.

You are in Windows(n so CPython).

Our error code is the same 403, it then does not recognize our credentials. In my case the reason is that somehow to the password is added an extra string. Too me seems a security constrain
