Download file from public link

[chrisdkolloff]

Is there a way to download the content of a file via its public link? I want to access the file without having to log into my account.

Thanks!

Hi @chrisdkolloff

pCloud has a (restricted) API for handling public links. Some of the methods are only accessible with pcloud.com referrers.
There is a public method for downloading public items as zip (https://docs.pcloud.com/methods/public_links/getpubzip.html)

This method is currently not implemented in pyCloud API. You have several options:

• Implement it yourself and submit a pull request.
• Wait until I have time and interest to implement it.
• Pay me (or someone else) to implement it. My contact details are on my homepage: https://tomgross.github.io/

If you use and ❤️ my software, consider buying me a coffee ☕ https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/tomgross42

Implemented for 1.0b1: https://pypi.org/project/pcloud/1.0b1/

Thank you Tom, would you please give me a hint how to get the "code" for use with this method?

All below ways described in the website need referrer that is restricted to pcloud.com.

The code could be obtained from:
getfilepublink - link to a single file
getfolderpublink - link to a folder
gettreepublink - link to a tree
getcollectionpublink - link to a collection

Hi @mrahjoo

Since these API calls are restricted the only way I know is to get the code from the web UI of pcloud (https://my.pcloud.com/) manually.
