Downloading multiple PDFs to share

Scriptable
1

I’m trying to download around 4 pdfs and then share it via sharesheet to my computer. Unfortunately load() returns nothing. How do I get the raw data or save the raw data as a file?

const url = "https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tests/xhtml/testfiles/resources/pdf/dummy.pdf"

log(Data.fromFile(url)) //returns null

let req = new Request(url)
let result = await req.load()
log(result) //is empty

log(req.response)
//returns

log(result.getBytes()) // is not empty

Since result is a Data object, you need to use one of the get methods to log the data. But you should be able to save the request as a file directly using FileManager.write(path, result)

Ahhh, yes. I should have looked closer at the docs. Thank you!
