[FIXED] How to download a pdf file using beautiful soup if the link directly opens the pdf?

Issue

I have a list of links to the pdf files that I need to download.

One of the links:

'https://monentreprise.bj/documentCertificat/get?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6Ijg2Njk4MyJ9.xAXlH2CWvVMrs5hwk1rCcEIeKMRFmJAYetrgWJe6qE0'

How can the code be written to directly save the response of that link?

Solution

You don't need to use beautiful soup. You can use the request library.

import requests

URL = 'https://monentreprise.bj/documentCertificat/get?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6Ijg2Njk4MyJ9.xAXlH2CWvVMrs5hwk1rCcEIeKMRFmJAYetrgWJe6qE0'
r = requests.get(URL)  
with open('file_name.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(r.content)
