download file from url - fernandosianet - Oct-27-2020
Hi folks
I know how to download with the direct link, but we always have updates.
import requests
print ('Download')
url = 'https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/download/1.4.9/roundcubemail-1.4.9-complete.tar.gz'
r = requests.get (url)
filename = url.split ('/') [- 1]
with open (filename, 'wb') as output_file:
output_file.write (r.content)
print ('Download Completed')How can I download the latest version without having to copy the link and edit my script.Could you please help me?
Best Regards

Thank you Axel_Erfurt
But, master.zip is just a snapshot from the GIT repository and is **Not A STABLE
version of Roundcube**. It's not recommended to replace an existing installation
of Roundcube with this version.
There must be a way for the script to download the latest version

Something like:
import requests
REPO_NAME = "roundcube/roundcubemail"
GITHUB_URL = "https://api.github.com/repos/"
latest = requests.get(f"{GITHUB_URL}{REPO_NAME}/releases/latest").json()
download_url = [x["browser_download_url"] for x in latest["assets"]
if x["name"].endswith("complete.tar.gz")][0]
print(f"Download URL is {download_url}")
