Option to download without logging in to echo360.org
Hi, is it possible to download echo360.org without logging into the usual log-in interface (eg. for publicly hosted videos)? As an example, is it possible to parse(and download) videos from this portal (https://echo360.org/section/af040c4a-11d1-4bf5-856a-97485e0be2ed/home)? These videos do not need credential to log-in to echo360 cloud. Thanks for any help.
This is the originating URL https://echo360.org/section/af040c4a-11d1-4bf5-856a-97485e0be2ed/home
I don't think those are public links as both links request login details when I clicked on them
Hello, you are right! My, bad! Here are the public links: https://echo360.org/section/63154e84-3722-4d7a-a851-8248f569281c/public
Can you clarify whether these videos works with the current repo? Or do you just want to avoid the extra login step?
@soumdtt Is that some sort of one-off link or a link that embeds a token? It no longer works for me
@soraxas I’m not sure about your last comment. It is still working for me, though. Even if I copy and paste in a different computer, it works. Also, I will soon try out the link with the existing repo and report back ASAP as you suggested.
I also ran into this issue while trying to download publicly available videos (no echo360 account required) from URL https://echo360.org.uk/section/038aed3c-7365-479c-80ce-87a4fd2a37a6/public
I don't have an echo360 account, so I cannot perform a login in the Chrome selenium window, thus I cannot progress further with downloading the videos.
Same here. I have a public link that does not require a login so I would wish to skip the login process with the script. Also this is quite time sensitive because I finished the course that I wish to download and I don't know how long this link will stay valid until videos are removed.
The issue is not on not being able to skip the login process. If the course requires no login but has the same webpage structure as others, it would still work.
The problem is that (some of?) these login-less page has a different webpage structure. This program send a request to retrieve a json from the echo360 course, in order to retrieve the list of videos. See: https://github.com/soraxas/echo360/blob/1d01827e444e0871cb6cb031078c8e22c92a25f8/echo360/course.py#L60-L62
The json endpoint does not seems to exists for these sort of page

Ok thanks for the info. I already got them downloaded with geckoDM Chrome extension.
