coursera: deprecating API endpoint onDemandCourseMaterials.v1

[blakekjohnson]

Hello, at Coursera we are in the process of deprecating the onDemandCourseMaterials.v1 endpoint. When looking for usages of this API we found it used externally here and wanted to notify the project owners that this endpoint will soon have traffic shut off. The onDemandCourseMaterials.v2 endpoint can serve as an alternative to onDemandCourseMaterial.v1

[Ranielo]

Hey. has this happened today? as I cannot use anymore coursera-dl.

Thanks for info

[zacsyuan]

I run into this issue as well...wondering is there a way we could tweak codes at api to proceed when await owner to update package?

[MadApe]

@blakekjohnson If it's not too much trouble, would you mind proving a link to the documentation for the new API? Thanks!

[zacsyuan]

@MadApe
@blakekjohnson

and much appreciated if you two could keep me posted

[sbwcwso]

@MadApe @blakekjohnson

and much appreciated if you two could keep me posted

I also had the same problem, if you have a solution now？

[blakekjohnson]

onDemandCourseMaterials.v2 is functionally the same as v1, a simple update of the version number would resolve the issue. Adding _V2 to the end of the variable on this line will resolve the aforementioned issues.

When I changed line , I have the error below, is this a problem of my python version, I am using Python 3.10.7 now.

@sbwcwso I dont have your issue

but other than adding _V2 as @blakekjohnson points out, I also edited the name down below to align the version name.

works for me now... again @blakekjohnson much appreciated....I dont think we would ever figure out without your note

I have done the following
pip3 uninstall coursera-dl

cd coursera-dl

But how do I run the commands now? When I enter something like "coursera-dl -h" it says no command found. In the original version when I did that, it would display the help

[thetenthousandthings]

Works great! You rock! Thank you so much for this.

[raffaem]

I have done the following pip3 uninstall coursera-dl git clone https://github.com/raffaem/coursera-dl cd coursera-dl pip3 install .

I renamed my fork. Check the README for the correct command to run.

[AndreyBaum]

'cs-dlp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I am writing a command in the folder where I created the coursera-dl folder, but this error comes out

UPD: It doesn't matter anymore. I just wrote all the commands through PowerShell, not through cmd, and everything worked

[gabi271]

After completing the 4 steps, I get the message "coursera-dl is not recognized as a command", the four steps were completed without problems
