Instructions

Props to Davidd Sargent for making a super simple video tutorial. If you prefer written instructions then continue reading further, else click on the image below for a quick video tutorial:

1 . Install from PyPI pip install udemy_enroller

• Run the script and the cli will guide you through the settings required
• If you decide to save the settings they will be stored in your home directory:
  Windows: C:/Users/CurrentUserName/.udemy_enroller
  Linux: /home/username/.udemy_enroller

2 . Choose the appropriate command for your browser (from the list below):

• Tested and works perfectly:

  • Chrome: udemy_enroller --browser=chrome
  • Chromium: udemy_enroller --browser=chromium
  • Edge: udemy_enroller --browser=edge

• Has issues when run on custom kernel but works fine on vanilla OS:

  • Firefox: udemy_enroller --browser=firefox (might require manual driver installation)

• Untested:

  • Opera: udemy_enroller --browser=opera

• Use at your own risk:

  • Internet Explorer: udemy_enroller --browser=internet_explorer

3 . The script can be passed arguments:

• --help: View full list of arguments available
• --browser=<BROWSER_NAME>: Run with a specific browser
• --discudemy: Run the discudemy scraper only
• --tutorialbar: Run the tutorialbar scraper only
• --max-pages=<NUMBER>: Max number of pages to scrape from sites before exiting the script (default is 5)

FAQs

1. Can I get a specific course for free with this script?

Unfortunately no, but let me assure you that you may be lucky enough to get a particular course for free when the instructor posts its coupon code in order to promote it. Also, over time you would build a library of courses by running the script often and have all the required courses in your collection. In fact, I made this course after completing a Python automation course and selenium, which of course I got for free! :)

2. How does the bot work?

The bot retrieves coupon links from Tutorial Bar's and DiscUdemy list to cut the prices and then uses Selenium's Browser automation features to login and enroll to the courses. Think of it this way: Epic Games & other clients like Steam provide you a handful of games each week, for free; Only in this case, we need a coupon code to make those courses free.

3. How frequently should you run the script?

Daily, at least once! I've painstakingly amassed over 4000 courses in the last four years! And out of those 4000, I've only paid for 4 of these courses.

So, a mere 0.001% of courses are actually paid in my collection! Thankfully, you can get more than what I gathered in 4 years, in a matter of weeks! 🙌🏻

4. Why did I create this?

It used to be my daily habit to redeem courses and it was an extremely tedious task that took around 15 minutes, for 10 courses. And then I suddenly got the idea to automate it, after I found the automation course mentioned above. I bet, it will save your precious time too! :)

5. Udemy has detected that I'm using automation tools to browse the website! What should I do?

Relax! This happens when you run the script several times in a short interval of time. Solve the captcha, hit enter in the terminal window you are running the script from and allow the script to continue as normal. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! 🍋🙃

6. The code compiles successfully but it's taking too long to work! IS there any way to fix that?

Since we are heavily dependent on a third-party site to retrieve coupons links, there may be issues when the site is down. Needless to mention the connectivity issues too. If everything is working fine, you can see the courses being retrieved in the Python console/shell, which may take a while.

7. Which is the best way to run the script?

It is recommended to run the script using your terminal and system python.

8. Which branch to commit against?

Pull request should be made on "develop" branch.
