Does SDK have how to download files to a local path?

[solanha1999]

I would like to know if there is a way to download files (or audios) sent by someone else in rocket chat? I would also like to know how could I identify the message type? (audio, file or text)

Thanks in advance!

SDK doesn't have an method to download a file. In message incomming in your respond messages function (driver.respondToMessages(your_func)) you can debug the message object. When an message with files/attachments are incomming, you can download this. The method for download can require auth or no, depends on your server config here: Administration / File Upload / Protect Uploaded Files.

Sample of message with attachment in livechat room:

{
  _id: '6xQ2YNjyS7FpHEMKq',
  rid: 'udDGmoWCZcYB3he9k',
  msg: '',
  token: 'kl1b2chq5od5jiuex8yaca',
  file: {
    _id: 'PRF4xNaWqKr9nEM5z',
    name: 'Peek 12-07-2021 16-19.gif',
    type: 'image/gif'
  },
  attachments: [
    {
      ts: '1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z',
      title: 'Peek 12-07-2021 16-19.gif',
      title_link: '/file-upload/PRF4xNaWqKr9nEM5z/Peek%2012-07-2021%2016-19.gif',
      title_link_download: true,
      image_dimensions: [Object],
      image_preview: 'xxxxxx',
      image_url: '/file-upload/PRF4xNaWqKr9nEM5z/Peek%2012-07-2021%2016-19.gif',
      image_type: 'image/gif',
      image_size: 128576,
      type: 'file'
    }
  ],
  alias: 'felipe-livechat',
  ts: { '$date': 1626210620347 },
  u: {
    _id: 'rWQGzKyaomF2STaoL',
    username: 'guest-2',
    name: 'felipe-livechat'
  },
  _updatedAt: { '$date': 1626210620383 },

}

I hope this has helped you
