Python 3 script for downloading WeTransfer files from the command line
You should have a WeTransfer address
https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/XXXXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYYY
or a short-form one
Execute
python3 wetransfer.py "https://we.tl/XXXXXXXXXXXX"
and it will output the actual URL of the file that you can download.
You can then use wget or curl to download that URL, like this:
wget $(python3 wetransfer.py "https://we.tl/XXXXXXXXXXXX")
curl -O $(python3 wetransfer.py "https://we.tl/XXXXXXXXXXXX")
Python 3.8+
pip install requests beautifulsoup4 json5
I have updated this script to work with the latest WeTransfer links (as of September 2021). Many thanks to Alejandro Alonso, Marcos Besteiro López and Gary Watson for starting this off.
I have tested it on macOS with Python 3.9
