A utility that helps you download video of Pluralsight to your local disk.
- (new) Downloads transcript and convert to SRT subtitle file for each video file
- (new) Stores user/pass and path so that no need to key in while downloading
- Remembers the progress of downloading
- Wait for seconds (cooldown) after each clip downloads, prevent your account from being disabled
Using this tool requires you to have your own valid subscription to Pluralsight
npm install -g node-pd
pd download -u [account] -p [password] -s [path-to-save] [list of course id separated by space char]
Or configure before downloading.
pd config -u [account] -p [password] -s [path-to-save]
pd download [list of course id separated by space char]
E.g., if URL of a course page is "https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/react-redux-react-router-es6", the course id is "react-redux-react-router-es6".
pd download react-redux-react-router-es6 play-by-play-nano-server
This will download both "Building Applications with React and Redux in ES6" and "Play by Play: Nano Server".
To prevent Pluralsight from blocking your account, we need to wait for dozens of seconds between downloads.
There're 3 modes: Auto, Normal, Prudent. The default mode is Auto, in which the interval is calculated based on video duration.
pd config -d [Auto|Normal|Prudent]
Here Normal is around 45 seconds, Prudent is around 60 seconds.
You can also specify a static number of seconds. E.g.,
pd config -d 4
The program will wait for 4 seconds after each download.
