Generating a downloadable link for a private file uploaded in the Google drive

问题

Is it possible to generate the downloadable link for a private file uploaded in the google drive?

I have tried with the files API and generated the 'webContent Link', but it is accessible only to the owner and the shared users.

(Expecting a public link that can be shared with anyone)

def file_info_drive(access_token, file_id):
    headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token, "content-type": "application/json"}
    response = requests.get('https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/{file_id}', headers=headers)
    response = response.json()

    link = response['webContentLink']
    return link

回答1:

You want to make anyone download the file using webContentLink.
You want to use Drive API v2.
You want to achieve this using 'request' module with Python.
You have already been able to upload and download the file using Drive API.

If my understanding is correct, how about this modification?

Modification points:

In order to make anyone download the file using webContentLink, it is required to share publicly the file.
- In this modified script, the file is publicly shared with the condition of {'role': 'reader', 'type': 'anyone', 'withLink': True}. In this case, the persons who know the URL can download the file.

Modified script:

When your script is modified, it becomes as follows.

def file_info_drive(access_token, file_id):
    headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token, "content-type": "application/json"}

    # Using the following script, the file is shared publicly. By this, anyone can download the file.
    payload = {'role': 'reader', 'type': 'anyone', 'withLink': True}
    requests.post('https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/{file_id}/permissions', json=payload, headers=headers)

    response = requests.get('https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v2/files/{file_id}', headers=headers)
    response = response.json()

    link = response['webContentLink']
    return link
