'Google Drive API 403 error from wget/curl, but not from browser [closed]
I'm attempting to download a large file from Google Drive using wget or curl. I've set up a Drive API key to bypass the large file warning and need for authentication.
Putting the URL into a browser causes the immediate download as I desired (without my Google account being signed in). But when attempt to download with wget I get a 403 Forbidden error. Attempting to download with curl gives the following:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "usageLimits",
"reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
"message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup.",
"extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup."
}
}
The API key has no application restrictions. Why is this happening and how can I resolve it?
Edit, original call:
curl https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/FileID?alt=media&key=APIKey --output out

Thanks to @Hassan. Copying the cURL worked.
Appearently what was missing was putting quotes around URL in the call to curl.
Edit, new call:
curl 'https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/FileID?alt=media&key=APIKey' --output out
