You can download the installer safely from the link below. You can create a bootable El Capitan installer by following the guide here. Just hold option/alt down when you boot up your Mac

My MacBook is running Mojave and I need to instal El Capitan on my iMac (what was on it before I needed to replace a bad hard drive) so I can’t get it to download using my MacBook through legitimate Apple sources. HELP! That link Aaron provided is from Apple and since I am running Mojave I can’t download it.
I am having almost this exact same issue, I have an old MacBook Pro that I have previously had El Capitan installed on. The hard drive has gone funny and now I need to re-install El Capitan. But the only other Mac I have is an iMac, and I cannot seem to legitimately find a way to download El Capitan.
Did you have any luck with this?
There is also the problem now that Apple has stopped signing the older OSs - meaning I have not - after 35 years in the busines - been able to install a brand new OS 11 from an installer onto a formatted HDD/SSD. Only thing that works? Clone an existing system, make a new user and make it Admin, delete the original user. This also poses some problems, but it works.
@kennethkrabat Just set your clock back to the date range the signature was valid.

@katemor Its not true that App Store no longer has El Capitan as download. It does not have it as download, if your Apple-ID has never registered a machine with El Capitan. Otherwise they are still there.
And your link points to a place, which charges $20 for Apple software. Not quite legal...
