Download file from Google Drive with Python.

I want to download a file from Google Drive with Python3, but the problem is that the file exceeds 25MB. Due to this, when I go through the download link, I go to a page which says that the file is too large for Google to scan. I was using requests. Thus, it retrieves the HTML page instead of the file. I need a direct link.

It probably won't work by scraping. You can use Drive API to work with Google drive. First you need to enable the API, do some initial configurations. Later you can download a file using the ID of the file. You can read more here: https://developers.google.com/drive/api/v3/manage-downloads
