Proposal: derive token from archive #17

Open DirkHoffmann opened 4 years ago

DirkHoffmann commented 4 years ago

The acces token (unless revoked) is present in each download link within the archive. Thus it would be a simplification of usage to derive it from the archives rather than asking the user for it explicitely.

The feature --api-token must remain though, for the cases where the original token of the archive has already been revoked.

From my understanding, it would also be possible to use (until the token is revoked) the https url's in the url_private (etc.) fields directly, when fetching the resources. As the token is present in those links as well.

The fields url_private is much akin to the url_private_download field, pretty much identical apart from cutting out \/download from near start of the string.
