Thank you, it helps a lot :)

I was getting a "not premium error" for the website token. Maybe they have updated it recently. Checked from loading their site. As of now, "abcde" works fine.

@asifajrof changed again, how did you find it?

yup, at least for now it's fghij.

I found it by loading the page in my browser. Use the inspect tool and check in the networks tab.

I think gofile may have updated their API again, even using the new websiteToken I'm getting the notPremium error when using getContent

its agh3456fg now

agh3456fg

Good looking out, thank you!

Fixed the websiteToken issues and added enhancements to bring the script more in line with my Zsh version (i.e. error checking, encrypted folders)

Thanks!

jq: error (at :1): null (null) has no keys
any clue?

I'm getting the same error

@hunescoo @tuocan Fixed. The Gofile shortened the websiteToken key to wt.

is there a way to download a certain file within the folder? using the certain content id?

@tmatzxzone The whole point of using the script is to download multiple files at the same time. Why wouldn't you just use the browser for individual files?

I used another parameter to explicitly mention the filenames that i wanted to download. its not a full proof solution, but it works. you may check this fork

Try this my fork

they just updated their API

A fork to work with the API update, but it is also heavily modified. Take and adapt what you need.
