Curl to Python to download a GZ file?

Solution 1:

Edit: Turns out there's a library dedicated to this exact problem. Here's the gzip library, and a stackoverflow post about this exact topic.

Old answer: You may be able to do this using the requests library by passing in custom headers as a dictionary, and then writing the content of your response as a file.

import requests
url = 'https://sampleurl/sample.log.gz'
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer XXXTokenXXX'}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)  # if the URL will redirect, include allow_redirects=True

with open('C:\\path\\to\\save\\to', 'wb') as file:
    file.write(response.content)

You'll probably need to tinker around with that to get it working for your use-case (especially if that --data-raw bit is important), but that's the general idea. If you need to download a particularly large file or want to see some other alternative solutions, you can check out this older question.
