Hello All,
I want to download a file using REST API.
I have a file in a document library /folder. I want download that file, but with a different name.
Edit 1 : Below is my code. i am able to download file on Chrome browser but data gets corrupted and also not working on IE 10+
function call_to_rest_binarystring(rest_url) { return $.ajax({ url: rest_url, method: "GET", }); } function downloadFile(rest_url, filepath, fileName) { var dfd = $.Deferred(); if (!window.ActiveXObject) { var save = document.createElement('a'); save.href = filepath; save.target = '_blank'; save.download = fileName || 'unknown'; var event = document.createEvent('Event'); event.initEvent('click', true, true); save.dispatchEvent(event); (window.URL || window.webkitURL).revokeObjectURL(save.href); dfd.resolve(true); } else if (!!window.ActiveXObject && document.execCommand) { var rest_return_call = call_to_rest_binarystring(rest_url) rest_return_call.done(function (response, status, xhr) { var blob = new Blob([response], { type: "application/" + fileName.split(".")[1] + "" }); window.navigator.msSaveBlob(blob, fileName); }); } return dfd.promise() } var rest_url = "<site name>/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/ShareDocument/111.pdf')/openbinarystream" downloadFile(rest_url, filepath, fileName)while we download file it is downloaded as a blank. i think i am missing something. can anyone help me with this.
