Save a large file using the Python requests library [duplicate]
Oddly enough, requests doesn't have anything simple for this. You'll have to iterate over the response and write those chunks to a file:
response = requests.get('http://www.example.com/image.jpg', stream=True)# Throw an error for bad status codesresponse.raise_for_status()with open('output.jpg', 'wb') as handle: for block in response.iter_content(1024): handle.write(block)I usually just use urllib.urlretrieve(). It works, but if you need to use a session or some sort of authentication, the above code works as well.
