Hello
Need help with downloading a file with fix password, how can I make the process automatic.
I’m trying to use the HTTP module > Get a file, but where should I input the fix password? Or which app I should use in make.
Thanks.
Welcome to the Make community!
What type of “fixed password” is this/ or how is it implemented?
If it’s a basic auth, you can try to login first and share the cookie
Then download the file

Hi Sam
Thanks for your reply.
Just assume that the user clicks the link, then inputs the same password to download a file everyday. I wish turn the process as an automatic one. So it can be triggered everyday and the file can be downloaded to my local folder.
Regards.
Then it appears to be a web interface, not basic “HTTP” auth. Can you provide the URL and password?

Which app I should use for this scenario? The URL and password can be provided later.
Thanks.
Hi Samliew, can you advice which app I should use in this case, the “web interface” not “http” auth. Thanks.
Make doesn’t have an integration for this third-party service yet.
If the external service has a Developer API Reference/Documentation then you can create an API access token/key for the external service first, before you can call the API endpoints to do whatever you need.
To get started, you need to contact the owner of the external service to see if they have any developer API reference available.

Hi Samliew, there is a test document in my sharepoint, the URL is Sharing Link Validation
and the password:11111
I wish the file from this URL can be downloaded automatically with this fix password. What should I do next? Thanks so much.
That does not work. I can only “download” the page asking me to input password, but not the file.
Hmm OneDrive sends content-type encoding “chunked” – which I’m not quite sure how to parse the response.
Could you use another file hosting platform, or instead use the OneDrive API?

Hi Samliew
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to use dropbox as the file hosting platform, here is the link,
the password:111
Thank you!
According to password protected file via API - Dropbox Community, seems like there’s an API you can use to download a password-protected file on Dropbox, but you’ll need to get an API key.

I create a link from Dropbox app, then how should I input this password in the following app to download the file?
Oh, if you already have a connection to Dropbox, why not just use the “Download a file” module?

Yes, I see I can do it with Download a file directly, but the reason is that I just want to simulate the download process with a password. Otherwise there is no reason for setting up a password.
- I create a file link with password for a file in dropbox, photo1,
- how should I input this password into apps, or which app should I use for this step?
- I made the design like this, but it does not work. It can only download the page “Please input the password”, but not the target file.
Please advise here. Thanks.
