Instructions

1. Getting cookies

First thing to do is get your account cookies. This can be done by getting a browser extension that lets you see or export your cookies.

• Method 1 (recommended)

  • Get the value of the cookie called _simpleauth_sess and pass that value using -s "COOKIE_VALUE"

• Method 2

  • Export the cookies in the Netscape format using an extension.
    If your exported cookie file is not working, it may be a formatting issue, this can be fixed by running the command curl -b cookies.orig.txt --cookie-jar cookies.txt http://bogus

2. Downloading your library

Use the following command to download your Humble Bundle Library:
hbd download --cookie-file cookies.txt --library-path "Downloaded Library" --progress

This directory structure will be used:
Downloaded Library/Purchase Name/Item Name/downloaded_file.ext

Notes

• Inside your library folder a file named .cache.json is saved and keeps track of the files that have been downloaded. This way running the download command again pointing to the same directory will only download new or updated files.
• Use --help with all hbd commands to see available options
• Find supported platforms for the --platform flag by visiting your Humble Bundle Library and look under the Platform dropdown
• Download select bundles by using the -k or --keys flag. Find these keys by going to your Purchases section, click on a products and there should be a downloads?key=XXXX in the url.
