Script for bulk downloading premium course (paid users only) from tutsplus

This is for paid user only!

Before anything else let's clarify that this script is for paid users only.

This script will simply don't work if you don't provide a valid username and password. The account you provide must be a valid tutsplus premium's account.

Why this script?

Tutsplus already allow us to download their video. In fact in each lesson's page there is a shiny download button.

Because I watch their video mostly offline (during train travelling) I needed a way to bulk download the courses. This script just automates this process.

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies with ```pip install -r requirements.txt``

Example

First thing first make a new file(inside the repos dir) called download.pywith the following contents:

#! /usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Importing the module
from Tutsplus import Tutsplus

# Your username and password
username = 'my_username'
password = 'my_password'

# This is a list with all the url for the courses you want to download
courses_url = [
                'https://tutsplus.com/course/say-yo-to-yeoman/',
                'https://tutsplus.com/course/phone-gap-essentials/'
            ]

# Instantiate the main object passing the credentials
t = Tutsplus(username, password)

# This method will download all the courses within the list
t.download_courses(courses_url)

run with python download.py
