Downloading a file with Powershell
The following Google Doc gets exported to CSV and is then downloaded automatically using a standard Web Browser: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wDD_Xm8IQYuYNefv9cOJ_7afTLImHgYA05pfN3qY63E/export?format=csv
I'm trying to download this file using Powershell without success. I tried using Invoke-Webrequest, Start-BitsTransfer and using a webrequest object but no luck there.
EDITED: changed url.
Answer
Invoke-WebRequest comes with a parameter to store its result in a file: -OutFile
Invoke-WebRequest URL -OutFile c:\file.ext
If you need authorization before you can send a request like this:
Invoke-WebRequest URL /* whatever is neccesary to login */ -SessionVariable MySession
Invoke-WebRequest URL -WebSession $MySession
To determine the layout of the form where the login happens, you can use Invoke-WebRequests return object. It'll collect information about forms and fields on the HTML (might be Windows only). Mileage of logging in may vary with things like Two-Factor-Auth active or not. Probably you can create some secret link to your file which does not need Auth or possibly google allows you to create a private access token of some sort, which can be send aus Authorization-Header alongside your request.
