history
Project history and usage
Moodle-DL is a student-oriented Moodle downloader developed in the C0D3D3V/Moodle-DL GitHub project. Its README presents the origin problem plainly: repeatedly downloading course files by hand is inefficient. The tool answers that with a Python console application that downloads Moodle course materials needed for study routines, including files, assignments and submissions, books, calendar events, forums, workshops, lessons, quizzes, descriptions, external links, and video/file integrations such as OpenCast, YouTube, Sciebo, Owncloud, Kaltura, Helixmedia, and Google Drive.
Project history
The project is shaped by Moodle's API and institutional-learning-management quirks. The README says it uses the Moodle mobile API, stores configuration in config.json, can handle SSO/token flows, and can maintain cookies for modules not exposed through the mobile API. It also supports notification channels including Telegram, Discord, XMPP, and mail, and reruns avoid redownloading files already saved locally. That makes it a personal archival and synchronization tool rather than a replacement for Moodle's built-in course export feature, which Moodle documentation describes as an administrator-enabled "Download course content" option.
How it is used
In package-manager terms, moodle-dl is a niche CLI for students and university users whose Moodle instance allows the needed API access. Its README compares it with adjacent Moodle downloaders such as webeep-sync, syncMyMoodle, edu-sync, tum-moodle-downloader, moodle-buddy, and Discord notification bots, reflecting a small ecosystem of institution-specific tools around the same pain point.
