local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Adds the "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" header.
-- This is NOT a real key.  Change the "sk-vi...." to your own key.
http.auth_token = "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"

local file_id = "file-1H4vJq0H775gQVrjWY5jpp15"

-- Download to local file.
local url = "https://api.openai.com/v1/files/{$file_id}/content"
http:set_url_var("file_id", file_id)

-- Note: Free accounts are not able to download files.

local success = http:download(url, "c:/aaworkarea/mydata.jsonl")
if not success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
