I have an excel spreadsheet with one of the columns containing Livelink URLs in the following format - http://livelink.organisation-name.net/livelink.exe/open/{file_id} where file_id is the placeholder for actual file identifiers. I have to automate the task of downloading the files and placing them in appropriate folder based on certain tag (not relevant). I am trying to write a Python script to automate and using requests.get method but having trouble with authentication. I have two questions -
- What authentication patterns can be used to achieve this objective?
- Can I pass the above URL in requests.get method to retrieve the underlying PDF file?
