I am currently using the below script to get regular files from Google Drive. It works fine and its basically the code from the user @user115202 cudos.
Now I need to get it to work for Whatsapp Backups which are stored under "Backup" in GoogleDrive and not as a regular file.
The tool WhatsApp Google Drive Extractor (Google Drive API) doesnt seem to work anymore.
Does anyone know an alternative?
import requests
def download_file_from_google_drive(id, destination):
def get_confirm_token(response):
for key, value in response.cookies.items():
if key.startswith('download_warning'):
return value
return None
def save_response_content(response, destination):
CHUNK_SIZE = 32768
with open(destination, "wb") as f:
for chunk in response.iter_content(CHUNK_SIZE):
if chunk: # filter out keep-alive new chunks
f.write(chunk)
URL = "https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download"
session = requests.Session()
response = session.get(URL, params = { 'id' : id }, stream = True)
token = get_confirm_token(response)
if token:
params = { 'id' : id, 'confirm' : token }
response = session.get(URL, params = params, stream = True)
save_response_content(response, destination)
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
print "Usage: python google_drive.py drive_file_id destination_file_path"
else:
# TAKE ID FROM SHAREABLE LINK
file_id = sys.argv[1]
# DESTINATION FILE ON YOUR DISK
destination = sys.argv[2]
download_file_from_google_drive(file_id, destination)
