Sync GoPro cloud media to Google Photos Library.

Project description

q2google

Sync media from GoPro cloud into Google Photos for a capture date range with resumable session state.

Requirements

  • Python 3.12 or 3.13 (3.14 is excluded until dependent wheels catch up)
  • GP_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable — GoPro cloud access token (required by AsyncGoProClient)
  • Google OAuth installed app credentials (client_secret.json from Google Cloud Console)
  • A writable path for the user token (token.json by default)

Install

pip install q2google

Or with uv:

uv add q2google

Library usage

Minimal example

import asyncio
from datetime import datetime

from gopro_api import AsyncGoProClient

from q2google import (
    GoProToPhotosSync,
    GooglePhotosClient,
    GooglePhotosOAuth,
    JsonFileBackend,
)
from q2google.gphotos.api import GooglePhotosAPI
from q2google.gphotos.models import PhotosScopes


async def main() -> None:
    oauth = GooglePhotosOAuth(
        client_secrets_file="client_secret.json",
        scopes=[PhotosScopes.READ_AND_APPEND],
        token_file="token.json",
    )

    async with (
        AsyncGoProClient() as gopro,
        GooglePhotosAPI(credentials=oauth) as api,
    ):
        photos = GooglePhotosClient(api=api)
        backend = JsonFileBackend(root_dir=".q2google_sessions")

        syncer = GoProToPhotosSync(
            gopro=gopro,
            photos=photos,
            state_backend=backend,
        )

        responses = await syncer.sync_date_range(
            start_date=datetime(2026, 1, 8),
            end_date=datetime(2026, 1, 9),
            session_id="my-session",
        )
        print(f"Created {len(responses)} batch(es).")


asyncio.run(main())

Resuming a session

Pass the same session_id on subsequent runs. GoProToPhotosSync loads the persisted SessionState and skips already-completed items:

responses = await syncer.sync_date_range(
    start_date=datetime(2026, 1, 8),  # ignored when resuming
    end_date=datetime(2026, 1, 9),    # ignored when resuming
    session_id="my-session",          # same key → resumes from checkpoint
)

Custom state backend

Implement SyncStateBackend to persist sessions in any storage layer (database, object store, etc.):

from q2google import SessionState, SyncStateBackend


class RedisBackend:
    def load(self, session_id: str) -> SessionState | None:
        raw = redis_client.get(session_id)
        return SessionState.from_dict(json.loads(raw)) if raw else None

    def save(self, state: SessionState) -> None:
        redis_client.set(state.session_id, json.dumps(state.to_dict()))

Pass it directly to GoProToPhotosSync(state_backend=RedisBackend()). No other changes required.

Stage completion hook

on_stage_complete is called after each of the three pipeline stages (discovery, transfer, create). Use it to report progress, emit metrics, or trigger side-effects:

from q2google.state.base import SessionState, StageKey
from q2google.photos import MediaItemBatchCreateResponse


async def report(
    stage: StageKey,
    state: SessionState,
    responses: list[MediaItemBatchCreateResponse] | None,
) -> None:
    print(f"[{stage}] items={len(state.items)} stage_states={state.stages}")


responses = await syncer.sync_date_range(
    start_date=datetime(2026, 1, 8),
    end_date=datetime(2026, 1, 9),
    session_id="my-session",
    on_stage_complete=report,
)

Public API

All public symbols are importable directly from q2google:

Symbol Description
GoProToPhotosSync Main orchestrator; runs discovery → transfer → create.
GooglePhotosClient Resumable upload facade (upload_file_path, create_media_items).
GooglePhotosOAuth Load, refresh, or obtain Google OAuth credentials.
JsonFileBackend File-based SyncStateBackend; one JSON per session under a root directory.
SessionState Full persisted session document (to_dict / from_dict for custom stores).
SyncStateBackend Protocol — implement load / save to plug in any storage layer.
Q2GoogleSettings Pydantic settings; batch sizes, timeouts, and paths with env-var overrides.
get_settings Return a singleton Q2GoogleSettings from environment / .env.

Lower-level symbols in q2google.gphotos:

Symbol Description
GooglePhotosAPI Thin aiohttp wrapper for Library v1 — use as async with GooglePhotosAPI(...) as api.
GooglePhotoLibraryPort Protocol matching GooglePhotosAPI; implement for testing or alternative HTTP clients.
PhotosScopes Enum of OAuth scopes (READ_AND_APPEND, READ_ONLY, APPEND_ONLY).

CLI

The package ships a CLI for one-off or scripted use:

q2google sync \
  --start-date 2026-01-08 \
  --end-date 2026-01-09 \
  --credentials client_secret.json \
  --token token.json

Useful options:

Option Description
--state-dir JSON session root (default: .q2google_sessions or Q2GOOGLE_STATE_DIR)
--session-id Stable id to resume a run (Q2GOOGLE_SESSION_ID if unset)
--batch-size Files per cycle for new sessions; ignored when resuming (persisted session wins)
--fail-fast Stop on first error after persisting state
--log-level DEBUG Verbose logging

Configuration

All CLI options have environment-variable equivalents. Q2GoogleSettings (Pydantic BaseSettings) loads them with the Q2GOOGLE_ prefix and also reads a .env file in the working directory.

Variable Purpose
GP_ACCESS_TOKEN GoPro cloud access token — read by AsyncGoProClient; required for discovery
Q2GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS_PATH Google OAuth client secrets JSON path
Q2GOOGLE_TOKEN_PATH Authorized user token path
Q2GOOGLE_STATE_DIR JSON session state directory
Q2GOOGLE_SESSION_ID Default session id when --session-id is omitted
Q2GOOGLE_SYNC_BATCH_SIZE Transfer batch size for new sessions
Q2GOOGLE_PHOTOS_LIBRARY_BATCH_SIZE Items per batchCreate (1–50)
Q2GOOGLE_FAIL_FAST true / false
Q2GOOGLE_LOG_LEVEL e.g. INFO, DEBUG
Q2GOOGLE_GOOGLE_PHOTOS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS Library API request timeout
Q2GOOGLE_DOWNLOAD_CHUNK_SIZE_BYTES CDN stream chunk size

See q2google.config.Q2GoogleSettings for the full list and defaults.

Architecture

sync_date_range splits every run into three sequential stages. State is persisted through SyncStateBackend after each stage, so interrupted runs can resume from the last checkpoint.
