Create the cookie string
Go to HumbleBundle.com and sign in to your library.
The cookie string is tricky to get.
You need to get the value of the cookie named _simpleauth_sess.
Open the developer tools in your browser, go to storage and locate the cookie there.
Copy paste the value from _simpleauth_sess.
- In Firefox, open the Storage Inspector first click the row with
_simpleauth_sess, then on_simpleauth_sessin the other menu far to the right under data, press Ctrl+C or CMD+C to copy. You'll get a string with_simpleauth_sess:"eyJfc...9", just remove the first_simpleauth_sess:part and keep the rest as the cookie string.). - In Chrome, open the Resource Panel and simply tripple-click the appropriate cell in the table to mark it and use Ctrl+C or CMD+C to copy. When pasting, be sure to surround the string in quotation marks ("") and remove trailing blank spaces.
- In Safari, open the Storage Tab of the Web Inspector (Context menu on the page, click Inspect page) click the Storage tab, select Cookies on the sidebar, select the
_simpleauth_sesscookie, and press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+C to copy it. It will copy the hole line, so just keep the second part of it. There is asafari_cookie_extractor.pytool which you can edit to aid you in the that process.
Do not share your private data with anyone!
Put that into the settings file
Copy over the settings example file settings.example.py over to settings.py.
Set the folder for the download there.
Also set the _simpleauth_sess part we extracted previously.
Downloading missing games
The cookie string are timed-based and they will expire after a while (a couple of days). When that happens, you have to grab the cookie again. Any previously downloaded files will not be downloaded again.
