How to get file_id?

• file_id can be obtained:
  • from a GDrive link which is already publicly (or)
  • by making a shareable link from a your GDrive
• For example, here, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hpBqbuHQr6UhVawkcsANAe63P70s9Ycu 1hpBqbuHQr6UhVawkcsANAe63P70s9Ycu is the file_id.

How to get api_key?

api_key can be obtained from Google Cloud Console. Following pictures guide you on how to get api_key:

1. Go to Google Cloud Console and create a new project.

2. Now click on APIs & Services and go to Credentials.

3. Click on Create Credentials and then on API key and copy.

4. Copy and save the api_key somewhere.

stream.py

This is where you obtain the streamable link. As this is my first project, I thought of writing it in python with just two functions. That is print and input. You can get the py from here

prompt = "Enter your file_id:" 
file_id = input(prompt)

prompt = "Enter your api_key:"
api_key = input(prompt)

print(f"https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/{file_id}/?key={api_key}&alt=media")
