The unofficial API for GoPro cameras (The WiFi enabled models)
- GoPro HERO2 w/ WiFi BacPac
- GoPro HERO3 (Black/Silver/White) and HERO3+ (Silver/Black)
- GoPro HERO4 (Black/Silver/Session)
- GoPro HERO+ (HERO+/HERO+ LCD) and GoPro HERO (2018)
- GoPro HERO5 (Black/Session)
- GoPro HERO6 Black
- GoPro HERO7 (Black/Silver/White)
This is a community effort to document the API calls between GoPro cameras and GoPro's Smartphone App via WiFi. It has 4 sections for each camera model:
- WiFi commands: a list of WiFi commands you can use for the camera.
- Livestreaming: methods of getting a live video feed off the camera.
- Media Browsing: Instructions on getting media off the SD card via wifi.
- Camera Status: List of camera status meanings
Note: HERO4 camera is now the base for the future API, since the calls will be the same for HERO4 and above.
They did offer a mobile library - but they shut it down. This repository will continue to be updated until GoPro stops releasing cameras and ceases operations.
3rd Party Library/API wrappers list
