Baidu Netdisk Plugin Setup Guide

The Baidu Netdisk plugin parses share links from pan.baidu.com. Before use, fill in your Baidu Netdisk Cookie in the plugin settings. The Cookie is the session credential your browser stores after you sign in; the plugin uses it to call Baidu Netdisk APIs on your behalf. It is stored locally only and never uploaded anywhere.

How to get it

  1. Open pan.baidu.com in your browser (Chrome / Edge recommended) and sign in.
  2. Press F12 to open DevTools and switch to the Network tab.
  3. Press F5 to refresh the page; many entries will appear in the request list.
  4. Click any request sent to pan.baidu.com.
  5. Under Headers → Request Headers, find the Cookie header and copy its entire value (it is long — copy it from start to end, or right-click → Copy value).
  6. Back in GDownload: Plugin Market → Baidu Netdisk → Settings, paste the value into the "Baidu Netdisk Cookie" field and click Save.

FAQ

Parsing says the Cookie is invalid / login required

The Cookie was copied incompletely, or you signed out on the web. Sign in again and repeat the steps above.

It stops working after a while

Baidu sessions expire; signing out on the web or changing your password invalidates the Cookie immediately. Just fetch it again.

A captcha is required

Baidu risk control was triggered; the app shows a verification dialog — follow the prompts.

Security notes

This credential is equivalent to your login credentials — never share it with anyone or paste it into untrusted sites or tools.

GDownload stores and uses this value locally only; click Clear in the plugin settings to remove it at any time.
