Momentos Downloader

MDL is a command line tool that allows you to list and download Momentos contents in bulk.

Usage

The mdl tool has three subcommands: login, list, and download. You can learn more about them by running

./mdl --help

Logging into the Momentos

Before accessing Momentos contents, users must be logged into the system. This can be done using the login subcommand.

./mdl login --user [email protected]

Then you will be prompted to enter your password. After a successful login request, mdl will create a local file mdl.toml with your access token. Subsequent commands will read your access token from that file.

Listing Momentos Contents

Use can list their Momentos contents by issuing the following command:

./mdl list

The output consists of a list of pairs <coruse-id> <coruse-name>. The <course-id> will be used to download the course contents.

Downloading Momentos Contents

To download your contents, use the download subcommand and provide the <course-id> of the course you want to download.

./mdl download --id <course-id> --id <second-course-id>

mdl will then create a folder named after your course-id where it will place all the lectures and transcripts from such course.
