This is a small node.js command line tool that can download series, playlists and lessons from egghead.io as .mp4 for you.
Currently it requires node >= v.6.0.0. If there is any need to support lower versions, please create an issue on Github.
To get started, just run
npm install -g --production egghead-downloader
Then you can use it from the command line
$ egghead-downloader -c https://egghead.io/series/getting-started-with-redux really-awesome-series
Usage: egghead-downloader [options] <url> <output-dir>
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-e, --email <email> Account email (only required for Pro accounts)
-p, --password [password] Account password (only required for Pro accounts)
-c, --count Add the number of the video to the filename (only for playlists and series)
-f, --force Overwriting existing files
Since this tool is written in ES6/ES7 (it uses await/async from the ES7 draft), you need to run npm run build if you edit the source (this runs babel, which transpiles it to code that node can understand). Or you can run it directly with babel-node: $ babel-node src/app.js --help
Since this tool depends on the page structure of egghead.io, it is very likely to stop working at some point ;)
