Token error about moodle-dl

[shoeper]

The login token is invalid, you have to get and set a new one.

how to do it? Maybe the system should do it automatically

[C0D3D3V]

You can use python main.py --new-token to generate a new token (add the option --sso if you are using single sign on). The downloader can't do that automaticly because it does not store your credentials.

Normaly multiple devices can use the same token. For example if you also use the moodle app it should not reject the token.
Normally a token is also almost never invalid.

But there are circumstances in which a token is discarded more quickly by Moodle. For example, if you make a lot of requests in quick succession. For example, if you run the downloader every 5 minutes (and you are enrolled in many courses). Such behavior can lead to the token being rejected quickly.

My token was not rejected by moodle although I have been running the downloader every 15 minutes for half a year. I think it also depends on how Moodle was set up.

It doesn't ask me the password...

you are using mingw so you have to run python with winpty.
try: winpty python main.py --new-token

Alternatively you can also use the normal Windows Command Prompt (cmd) or the Power Shell.
