This is a sample script for uploading files from local PC to Google Drive using Python. In this sample, Quickstart is not used. So when you use this script, please retrieve access token.
curl -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ### access token ###" \
-F "metadata={name : 'sample.png', parents: ['### folder ID ###']};type=application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
-F "file=@sample.png;type=image/png" \
"https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart"
]
When above curl sample is converted to Python, it becomes as follows.
import json
import requests
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer ### access token ###"}
para = {
"name": "sample.png",
"parents": ["### folder ID ###"]
}
files = {
'data': ('metadata', json.dumps(para), 'application/json; charset=UTF-8'),
'file': open("./sample.png", "rb")
}
r = requests.post(
"https://www.googleapis.com/upload/drive/v3/files?uploadType=multipart",
headers=headers,
files=files
)
print(r.text)
Is it possible to download files using a similar method? I have tried to tweak the code, but have not had any success
