Is there any way to export the titles of my game library here on GOG to a text file? I have quite a few games now and would like to have a list that I can access offline and append to my existing list of physical games. I did a search and couldn't find anything about this. If there is already a forum post about this can somebody reply with a link please?

I used to save the webpage of my library, put library into list mode, and file > save page from your browser..................

[edit] just tried it, doesn't work like it used too, no pics, plus the offline page trys to connect to gog

[edit2] I remove the javascript flies from gog.com folder, it shows a list of games without pics.

If you're not adverse to using a bit if javascript there are ways you could do it (one page at a time unless you also use my script to put all games on the same page)

On my phone at the moment but I'll whip up a little script later when I have the chance.

MaGog it is : )
Click Get From GOG button, follow the steps and go back to previous site.
Filters -> My Tags.. -> is any of.. -> owned
and click Search button above : )

Right, you may want to Clear All in Display section if you want only titles to be displayed..

Mind Blown.
Did you create this website? It's SO awesome. My hat goes off to you sir. I followed your instructions and got exactly what I wanted.
THANK YOU!

Edit: Oh, and thanks for the previous replies. No need for javascript as MaGog works perfectly.

You're very welcome mate! Glad to be of help : )
But you should thank <span class="bold">mrkgnao</span> who made the website I believe.

I would highly recommend that you keep your own library. I use collectorz games collector at the moment and it's ok, though you have to pay for it. Will switch over to a database when the license runs out. Never rely on anything on the internet, always do it yourself and keep it offline. This avoids things being changed/removed/broken for which you have no power over, and allows you to structure things as you want, for instance I have a script which scans my folder structure to ensure it all matches, and will be adding checksum to it later on as well.

Okay. I too wanted just a text list of the games I owned. Tried the MaGog solution and unfortunately Ctrl+A (Select All) and Ctrl+ (Copy) only selects the text at the top and bottom of the pages. It does not work on your main game library page.
I found this work around instead. Access your library page with Firefox, and use the "Save Page As Text" option.
Open the text file, scroll down and highlight your list of game, then copy and paste into a new text file. Edit out all the unwanted text
and you are left with a simple text list of your games.
Or, in Chrome and other browser use the "Save As...Web Page Complete" Option, then open it with Word, Libre Office etc. Again, highlight
your games, copy, open a new page, and using the Paste Special command, select the "Unformatted Text" option to paste only the text.
Again edit out the junk and you have your list.
Copied into Excel where I keep a list of my games.
Don't understand why these games sites make it so difficult to get a list of the game YOU buy from them.

MystGirl:
Have you tried gogrepo.py?

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gogrepopy_python_script_for_regularly_backing_up_your_purchased_gog_collection_for_full_offline_e/

Or use that in conjunction with a simple script file (.bat/.sh) that lists all directories every day (f.ex) and pipe it out to a text-file.

Never use excel/spreadsheet for anything like this, it wasn't designed for such purposes. A spreadsheet gets extremely messy and slow really fast. A simple database is your best, easiest and most organized option there.

Did you go to the correct page https://www.gog.com/user/data/games ?
(This is not your normal GOG account page.)

Edit: Didnt know this was a web tool - may be quite useful for some things...

Why would you save as a compete web page, only to copy the data in to text? Why not just "Save page as...", "Save as type: Text Files"?

Yeah, that one would actually be useful if it hadn't been for the fact that it doesn't list names, just numbers, and it doesn't list every game (At least not on my screen/account).

Perhaps if these numbers corresponds to the same game, then it's just a matter of fishing them out and have a program/script to put in the names for you. But then again you'd need to be logged in. I'd say gogrepo is the best option there in total to automate this.
