wkentaro/gdown v6.1.0

on GitHub

This release adds a new --json flag for inspecting Google Drive file and folder contents without downloading them.

Highlights

• New --json flag lists the file or folder contents as a JSON array on stdout instead of downloading, so you can resolve filenames and IDs before fetching anything. It is in beta and its output format may change in a future release.

Features

• Add a --json flag that prints file or folder contents as a JSON array of {"url", "path"} entries instead of downloading. Paths use POSIX separators on all platforms, and the flag cannot be combined with -O/--output. (#460, #463)

  # Resolve a single file's name without downloading it
  filename=$(gdown "$url" --json | jq -r '.[0].path')
  
  # List every file in a folder
  gdown https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/FOLDER_ID --folder --json

• Add a skip_download parameter to download() that resolves the target filename and ID without fetching the file, returning a GoogleDriveFileToDownload. (#463)

• --json now prints a one-time beta warning to stderr, which --quiet suppresses. (#465)

Other

• Bump urllib3 from 2.6.3 to 2.7.0. (#457)
• Bump idna from 3.11 to 3.15. (#459)
• Configure agent skills for the repository (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/agents/). (#462)
