Hello Everyone,

I am trying to download a file from the URL directly (auto download). the URL itself is having the file name at the end with the extension.

I have tried it with the C# code & vb.net code which are not working.

Would request if anyone has any other idea .

Regards
Divya Varshney

@Divya3

Please install webapi packages and then use http request …pass the url in Request URL field…and you have a field Filename for response attachment which you can give a filepath and the response file is saved there

Hope this helps

cheers

Hello @Divya3

you can use Xebia - Download File from URL - RPA Component | UiPath Marketplace activity to directly download the file from URL.

@Divya3

The error looks like it is conflicting with some other dependency…can you try it in a fresh project and also are you getting thsi error when you run it?

Cheers
