NAME

       datalad download-url - download content

SYNOPSIS

       datalad download-url [-h] [-d PATH] [-O PATH] [-o] [--archive] [--nosave] [-m MESSAGE] url [url ...]

DESCRIPTION

       It  allows  for  a  uniform  download  interface to various supported URL schemes, re-using or asking for
       authentication details maintained by datalad.

       Examples:

       $ datalad download-url http://example.com/file.dat s3://bucket/file2.dat

OPTIONS

       url    URL(s) to be downloaded. Constraints: value must be a string

       -h, -\-help, -\-help-np
              show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying  the  help
              message

       -d PATH, -\-dataset PATH
              specify  the  dataset  to add files to. If no dataset is given, an attempt is made to identify the
              dataset based on the current working directory. Use  --nosave  to  prevent  adding  files  to  the
              dataset. Constraints: Value must be a Dataset or a valid identifier of a Dataset (e.g. a path)

       -O PATH, -\-path PATH
              target  for download. If the path has a trailing separator, it is treated as a directory, and each
              specified URL is downloaded under that directory to a base name taken  from  the  URL.  Without  a
              trailing  separator,  the  value  specifies  the name of the downloaded file (file name extensions
              inferred from the URL may be added to it, if they are not yet  present)  and  only  a  single  URL
              should  be  given.  In  both  cases,  leading directories will be created if needed. This argument
              defaults to the current directory. Constraints: value must be a string

       -o, -\-overwrite
              flag to overwrite it if target file exists.

       -\-archive
              pass the downloaded files to datalad add-archive-content --delete.

       -\-nosave
              by default all modifications to a dataset are immediately saved. Giving this option  will  disable
              this behavior.

       -m MESSAGE, -\-message MESSAGE
              a description of the state or the changes made to a dataset. Constraints: value must be a string
