How to get your GoPro session cookie

The app uses your browser session to talk to the GoPro API on your behalf.

1. Open gopro.com and log in
2. Open DevTools — F12 on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Option+I on Mac
3. Go to the Network tab, filter by Fetch/XHR
4. Click around your media library to trigger a request
5. Click any request to api.gopro.com → Request Headers
6. Find the Cookie header and copy its entire value
7. Paste it into the Setup tab in the app and click Validate

The cookie expires after a few days — if downloads stop working, repeat the steps above.

Configuration

All settings are in the Setup tab:

| Setting | Description | |---|---| | Session Cookie | Your GoPro browser session (see above) | | Download Folder | Where videos are saved. Click Browse to pick a folder. | | Parallel Downloads | How many videos to download at once (1–8) |

Usage

1. Setup — paste your cookie, pick a download folder, save
2. Scan — discovers all videos in your GoPro Cloud library
3. Start — begins downloading. Pause/resume anytime.
4. Retry — failed downloads can be retried individually or all at once
5. Broken files — mark files that are corrupt on GoPro's end to skip them permanently

Data & privacy

• Your config and download state are stored in ~/.gopro-cloud-export/ on your machine
• Nothing is sent anywhere except to the GoPro API using your own session cookie
• Videos are saved to the folder you choose
