A small reference for people who keep running into pan.baidu.com links on Chinese forums, Bilibili, Zhihu, mod sites and course pages, and cannot get the file out. Covers how the links are built, what the Chinese text around them means, and the realistic way to download in 2026 if you have no Baidu account. Quark Pan (pan.quark.cn), the second most common host, is covered in the same way.
Includes panlink.py, a tiny dependency-free script that cleans up pasted share text into a canonical link with the extraction code attached. It does not contact Baidu or Quark.
Disclosure: I run BaiduFast, a paid link-to-download service that is mentioned at the end. The reference part is plain public information about Baidu and Quark.

| Piece | Meaning |
|---|---|
链接 |
"link" |
/s/1AbCd… |
the share ID. Case matters: 1AbCd and 1abcd are different shares |
?pwd=ab12 |
the extraction code embedded in the URL (newer shares) |
提取码：ab12 |
the same code written out (older shares, or both) |
--来自百度网盘超级会员V5的分享 |
"shared from a Baidu Netdisk SVIP v5 member", decoration only |
#list/path=/Mods |
optional: opens a sub-folder of the share |
Other spellings of the same link you will meet:
| Form | Note |
|---|---|
https://pan.baidu.com/share/init?surl=AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUv |
surl is the share ID without the leading 1 |
https://pan.baidu.com/wap/init?surl=… |
mobile page |
https://yun.baidu.com/s/…, https://eyun.baidu.com/… |
old domains, still redirect |
https://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=…&uk=… |
very old; usually dead by now |
The extraction code (提取码, sometimes 密码 or 访问码) is 4 characters, letters and digits, case-sensitive. Without it the share page shows 请输入提取码; with a wrong one, 提取码错误.
https://pan.quark.cn/s/0123456789ab?pwd=abcd
「文件夹名」链接：https://pan.quark.cn/s/0123456789ab 提取码：abcd
Quark IDs are lowercase hex (12–32 characters). The code works the same way as Baidu's. Quark folders show 0 bytes on the share page even when they hold gigabytes, so do not trust the size shown there.

| 啊哦，你来晚了，分享的文件已经被取消了 | too late, the share was cancelled |

The last three are the ones foreigners actually hit, and they are not errors: Baidu requires a logged-in account for every download, the account needs a mainland (+86) phone number, and a free account is capped at a few dozen KB/s.

It handles the /s/, share/init?surl= and wap/init forms, picks the code from ?pwd=, 提取码, 密码 or code: text following each link, keeps #list/path= folders, and de-duplicates. Python 3.9+, no packages. Useful before pasting a link into a download tool, a ticket, or a message to a friend.
Everything that worked 2018–2020 (PanDownload, direct-link bookmarklets, user-agent spoofing) is dead or now needs your own logged-in SVIP account, which brings you back to the +86 phone problem.
What works in 2026 is having the file fetched for you: paste the cleaned link on baidufast.com, see the real size and the price, and get a normal HTTPS download link. Shares up to 150 MB are free; larger ones are priced by size with a cap, shown before you pay. Quark links go in the same box.
A longer write-up with step-by-step instructions, prices and FAQ is in this gist: How to download from pan.baidu.com outside China (2026). Questions and link requests go in its comments.
