Feature description

https://www.humblebundle.com/membership/collection
This is a collection of 50+ games available to monthly subscribers. New games get added, old games get removed over time.

Some technical details:

• The official app installation seem to crash on anything below Windows 10.
• Authorization requires a click / auth token from browser.
• Installation of the game works through butler.exe (helper app, seems to be developed by itch corp), with command-line containing an URL to the full .zip package, which gets extracted to the download folder.

I think it would be useful to be able to manage this kind of library, know when games receive updates and maybe be able to store the original .zip packages.

Butler is available for every platform. So could be a feature. Feel free to implement it, if you can.

I've reverse engineered the API already, copying here for ease of access:

---

1. authenticate with oauth to https://www.humblebundle.com/oauth/authorize - it uses PKCE (RFC 7636) with the user.client scope and the client_id is humble_client
2. exchange redirect code using /oauth/token like a regular oauth login
3. call /client/user?session_start=1&install_source=humble with the bearer token, to get user info
4. call /client/catalog?index=0, incrementing the index until you get an empty array back, this call returns everything you can download, basically
5. to download stuff, send a post to /api/v1/user/download/build with machine_name=<machine_name from inside download object, not the root object>&product_machine_name=<machine_name from inside download object, not the root object>, download_url and signature_url in the response is relevant

@ChlorideCull thanks for that, for sure might be useful in the future.

In my experience, the humble api is pretty slow. So, you'll probably want to minimize the number of processes that are blocked by this sync.

Nobody is working on this integration as far as I know

A shame that nobody seems interested in this feature anymore, I guess I'm not alone, having bought many charity bundles to the point I accumulated hundreds of games over the years (more than any other platform) and wanted to have everything available at the same place using Heroic Games Launcher 🥲
