I am trying to retrieve an image located in a Google Drive using the PHP API. Authorisation works, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get the image file to place it in a folder. I have not found any results online.
Currently using
$driveService->files->get($fileId)
,
where $driveService is a Google_Service_Drive class.
Then I'm trying to use the webContentLink to use it to download the file, but webContentLink is being set to null. The image is located in a folder with edit permissions given to a service account, which is being used to access the images.
webContentLink is only available for binary files. If you are using file.get you can just write the get the body and write it out to the file.
$file = $service->files->get($fileId, array('alt' => 'media'));
file_put_contents("hello.pdf",$file->getBody());
