GoPro API for Python

Unofficial GoPro API Library for Python - connect to GoPro cameras via WiFi.

Notice:

Project has been updated to support Hero10 Black + OpenGoPro v2 + USB control. Further is needed to support these features:

Python3.8 typing
Custom exceptions
Integration tests
BLE support (using gopro-ble-py)
Hero9 (v1.21 & 1.22 fw) / Hero10 (OpenGoPro v2) USB identifier Autodiscovery
Stacktraces
More robust examples, with boilerplate code ready for use

Project covers a decade worth of camera releases, naturally something might've broken as development focuses on the newer cameras. Hopefully nothing broke.

Acknowledgments to GoPro for the OpenGoPro API spec release.

Compatibility:

HERO3
HERO3+
HERO4 (including HERO Session)
HERO+
HERO5 (including HERO5 Session)
HERO6
Fusion 1
HERO7 (Black)
HERO8 Black
MAX
HERO9 Black
HERO10 Black

WiFi vs USB:

Hero3..Hero8 (incl. MAX/Fusion/Session) all use WiFi (and some use Bluetooth) for controls, media management, status updates and live preview

Hero9 Black and Hero10 Black have Webcam functionality, and Hero10 Black is officially exposing the API server over USB Ethernet with full camera control capabilities

Hero9 Black requires using an older firmware to get ability to take photos. See the compatibility chart

Installation

From PyPi:

pip install goprocam

Git (unstable):

git clone http://github.com/konradit/gopro-py-api
cd gopro-py-api
python setup.py install

Tested on Python 3.6.0 -- works on Linux and Windows and Mac

Connect your camera to your computer via WiFi (WiFi on the camera must be on!)

from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants

goproCamera = GoProCamera.GoPro()

goproCamera.shoot_video(10)

Examples:

See examples for examples on how to use this API.
