(Go) Download Object from Google Cloud Storage

Demonstrates how to download an object from Google Cloud Storage to a file.

Chilkat Go Downloads Go Package for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux, Solaris

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

    // This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
    // scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

    // In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
    // the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..

    //     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
    //     -o "[SAVE_TO_LOCATION]" \
    //     "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]/o/[OBJECT_NAME]?alt=media"
