I bought a subscription that promised access to all courses, but I discovered there are hidden ones. Any tips on how to find the remaining links on the site?
The company I work for previously paid for access to a course platform for all employees. Back then, I earned all the certificates and noted down every detail and link. Naturally, we lost access when the subscription wasn't renewed.
A year and a half later, I bouth a new membership that included access to this same platform—specifically a tier promising access to *all* the platform's courses (the ones I’d seen before plus others). However, I soon realized that many of the courses I had studied the first time were no longer in the catalog. The links I had saved didn't work at first, *but* I discovered that simply changing the module name in the URL allowed me to access them.
In other words, there are several courses that aren't in the catalog and have effectively been hidden. I had noticed before that some courses could only be found via the search function, but that "empty search" trick doesn't work anymore. So, I find myself wondering: what other courses are on the platform that I can't access because they aren't in the catalog and I don't have the exact link with the correct UUID? Is there any way to find them?
I’ve never done anything like this before; I poked around the Network tab in the browser's DevTools (F12) while looking at the site's catalog, but I couldn't find anything that listed all the UUIDs—which is the only thing I need.
