How to download file from Podio?

Question

I use the API developer from Podio and get the files URL as: https://files.podio.com/1394450000

Downloading with access token sent gives me an a Login Page (Unauthorized).

How to download file with HTTP API?

PS: I previously logged in with my data to obtain the token with auth_url = 'https://podio.com/oauth/token'

auth_data = {
    'grant_type': 'password',
    'client_id': client_id,
    'client_secret': client_secret,
    'username': username,
    'password': password
}

and the token is working ok for obtain data which comes from https://api.podio.com, but not working for files on https://files.podio.com/1394450000

Answer 1

You need to take the access_token you generated from the /token endpoint and add it to the oauth_token parameter to authenticate the download of a file.
