11 months ago This is an issue I am investigating for my projects as well.
I did find this in the github API docs: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/assets?apiVersion=2022-11-28
And there is a tutorial on downloading files using the requests module I found here https://www.tutorialspoint.com/downloading-files-from-web-using-python
Edit:
I did more research and made up my own auto downloader for my project, here's what it looks like.
import requests
def downloadUpdate():
# Get latest release data
latestRelease = requests.get('https://api.github.com/repos/Wolfmyths/Myth-Mod-Manager/releases/latest')
# Find asset data api link
assetUrl = latestRelease.json()['assets_url']
# Get asset data
assetsData: dict = requests.get(assetUrl , headers={'accept':'application/vnd.github+json'}).json()
# Incase there are muiltiple assets create a for loop
downloadLink: str = None
fileName = 'Myth-Mod-Manager.zip'
for asset in assetsData:
if asset['name'] == fileName:
# Found the download link
downloadLink = asset['browser_download_url']
break
if downloadLink:
# Instance a session
session = requests.Session()
# Creating a new file in 'write in binary' mode
with open(fileName, 'wb') as f:
# Get data for download
request = session.get(downloadLink, allow_redirects=True, stream=True)
# Write it to fileName in chunks
for chunk in request.iter_content(1024**2):
f.write(chunk)
print('Done!')
downloadUpdate()
