downloadFile: Download a file locally.

In AutoDeskR: An Interface to the 'AutoDesk' 'API' Platform

Download a file locally.

Description

Download a file from the AutoDesk Platform Services using the Model Derivative API.

Usage

downloadFile(urn = NULL, output_urn = NULL, token = NULL, destfile = NULL)

Arguments

urn	A string. Source URN (objectId) for the file. Note the URN must be Base64 encoded. To encode the URN, see, for example, the jsonlite::base64_enc function.
output_urn	A string. Output URN retrieved via getOutputUrn.
token	A string or aps_token object with data:read and data:write scopes.
destfile	A string. Local file path to save binary responses (e.g. downloaded geometry files). When NULL and the response is not JSON, a warning is issued and the raw bytes are returned.

Value

An object containing either parsed JSON content or, for binary responses, the path to the saved file.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Download the "aerial.dwg" obj file
myEncodedOutputUrn <- jsonlite::base64_enc(myOutputUrn)
resp <- downloadFile(urn <- myEncodedUrn, output_urn <- myEncodedOutputUrn,
           token = myToken, destfile = "aerial.obj")

## End(Not run)
