Downloading a file with the version in the name Autodesk Forge - autodesk-forge

Question

I'm using CURL to download a file from BIM360 document management, works fine, and I can give the file a name as well.
But we also require it to download the file and automatically add the version name to the file. Is something like this possible to do with CURL and Forge?

Answer 1

Commonly, we can find the filename in the request header Content-Disposition when calling GET buckets/:bucketKey/objects/:objectName, but BIM360 objects are a little different. The filename is stored in the version tip.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, Accept-Encoding, Range, Content-Type
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.txt"
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Therefore, you need to get the filename from the display name of the version first, then call GET buckets/:bucketKey/objects/:objectName with the display name you got from its version tip.
With curl, we can give the name by adding the -o option, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/69520470/7745569
curl -o rst_house.rvt --location --request GET 'https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/buckets/wip.dm.prod/objects/a755b110-3d32-567b-871c-cb555e6087c1.rvt' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream'
