I've created a simple project to download egghead videos by using the approach suggested by @amrdraz. It works fine atm. It uses Puppeteer to log in and call the egghead api. Comments and contributions are more than welcome.

I wrote a short userscript a couple months ago which allows Pro users to download videos or courses from the browser by appending #dl to the end of the URL.

It uses the API routes that @amrdraz found.

To install it, you need to have a userscript management extension added to your browser (I recommend Tampermonkey), then you click the Raw button in the Gist. The extension will recognize the URL pattern and prompt you to install:

I use this to get the video links, August 2018

console.clear()
var links = ""
$("a[data-click-handler=true]").each(function(ind , elem) {
    if(elem.href.match(/^https:\/\/egghead.io\/lessons/) ) 
		links += elem.href + "\n"; 
})
console.clear()
links

@goldnetonline how to use your script ?

Just go to the Course page and paste the link in console
@cumibulat

Should this suppose to work for premium content as well?

this is a programatic way of doing what is described above, it's very basic
I might add to it later

https://github.com/a-eid/egghead-basic-downloader

copy([...new Set(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[href^="/lessons"]')).map(a => a.href))].join('\n'))

copy([...new Set(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[href^="/lessons"]')).map(a => a.href))].join('\n'))

Add a '/' after lessons to ignore /lessons link,

copy([...new Set(Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[href^="/lessons/"]')).map(a => a.href))].join('\n'))

I have read all the comments but still I could not download anythings.I will appreciate if some helps me to download some videos

Protected content can be downloaded via the --add-header= flag. Courses already have a download button but Collections do not.

youtube-dl -a playlist.txt --add-header=Cookie:"ahoy_visitor=...."

I did got those links by following instructions above, but youtube-dl gave me "URL not supported error"

so far I'm only able to download these links, which is pretty useless
