&confirm=jYel 

part came from?

I'm getting an error "UNAUTHORIZED" after duplicating this into postman. Have the headers required by Google changed?:

@dawsbot id is different :/

Try mocking the request again, It shows how I got to whats needed in the answer on SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47625214/generate-custom-direct-download-link-for-google-drive-link/47625446#47625446

Thank you for the rapid response here. I switched in my own ID here in order to test it with our real use-case since I was finding your example ID invalid.

But was that a mistake, should the provided ID "0B475ByfcR9n4a1JMVEZxQno2Tmc" still work?
