Download airtable file

Hello everyone,
I searched the forum but couldn’t find the solution.

I want to download an APK file that’s on Airtable.

I’ve included screenshots of my blocks.

I’m stuck. How do I use the URL with the download block?

Hi Frederic,
Airtable attachment URLs are usually temporary and may expire or point to a preview page instead of a direct file link. For the Download block to work, you need a direct URL that triggers an immediate download. You can test the URL in a browser; if it downloads directly, it should work. If not, you might need to retrieve a fresh direct link via the Airtable API or use a different file hosting service. Also, ensure the file is publicly accessible and the URL starts with https://.

I thought I could retrieve the URL of the file to download using Jsontools.
I’ll see if I can use another service.
