So I have tried using the ascli commands however I will eventually need to create a user-interface for this functionality. So I have been using python to create a package and upload files to a shared inbox. However, when I try and download from a shared inbox to the local machine, using the aoc.py file on this, https://github.com/laurent-martin/aspera-api-examples/blob/main/python/src/aoc.py, it doesn't connect/download. So I was wondering if you have any tips or other things to try? I can upload a package its just downloading where it isn't working, even thought the transfer-spec sent is pretty much the same as the one the web browser shows.

The procedure for download of package is similar:
1- get transfer spec for download by providing the id of package
2- start transfer using transfer SDK , by giving the transfer spec
see: https://github.com/IBM/aspera-cli/blob/main/lib/aspera/cli/plugins/faspex5.rb#L383
While for package send it is:
1- create a package and get the new id
2- get transfer spec for upload by providing the id of package
3- start transfer using transfer SDK , by giving the transfer spec
see: https://github.com/IBM/aspera-cli/blob/main/lib/aspera/cli/plugins/faspex5.rb#L488
Of course, for download you will need the package identifier, which either you got by some mean, of you can discover by listing available packages:
https://github.com/IBM/aspera-cli/blob/main/lib/aspera/cli/plugins/faspex5.rb#L346
Note that a package can be a personal package or coming from shared inbox, etc...
Again, an "easy" way is to use `ascli` in debug mode (or --log-level=trtace2) and look at api calls made.

Hi,
Thank you this was very helpful I was able to upload packages to shared inboxes in python using the Transfer SDK. I was just wondering if the process is the same for downloading a package as it is for uploading with some changes in the transfer spec that is being sent. Are there any example of downloading a package using the transfer SDK, Node API, and/or AoC?
Thank you for your help!

I suggest 2 things:
1- try to use the command line ascli : https://github.com/IBM/aspera-cli , you can send a package to AoC, and activate traces: --log-level=debug, that will show API calls including payload.
2- have a look to examples here: https://github.com/laurent-martin/aspera-api-examples/blob/main/python/src/aoc.py

Hi, I am currently attempting to send a package and then go into uploading and downloading using the AoC, Node and Transfer SDK APIs. However at the moment I have created the bearer token and run the POST requests but am only getting an HTML response when I need a JSON response. I was wondering if anyone could help? I have tried a variety of things but don't know where the source of the problem is. Any information would be a great help. Thanks!
