WGet downloads any file through a URL.

Take a look at the configuration parameters of the component:

  • URL: where the file will be downloaded from - Double Braces expressions are supported.

  • HEADERS: headers of the call.

  • QUERY PARAMS: query parameters of the call.

  • Account: account to be used by the component.

  • Fail On Error: if the option is enabled, the execution of the pipeline with error will be interrupted; otherwise, the pipeline execution proceeds, but the result will show a false value for the “success” property.

  • Allow Insecure Calls To HTTPS Endpoints: when activated, the option allows non-reliable calls to HTTPS endpoints to be made.

  • Binary File: if activated, the option returns the base64 of the file.

  • Local Save: if activated, the option allows the file to be saved locally.

  • File Name: name of the local file to be downloaded or uploaded.
