title: Retrieving a raw file URL from the Google Drive API
body: <p>I am trying to get the image file URL from the Google Drive API. Not the webViewLink or webContentLink.</p>
  <p>The backstory doesn't really matter to the issue but it will help explain the situation. I am making a Discord bot in Node.js and Discord doesn't follow redirects, so I need something that Discord will recognize as a URL with a raw image file. I have tried experimenting with other methods such as trying to send a base64 file, but a image file URL would be best.</p>
  <p>I have seen the other StackOverflow thread with a similar topic, but the solutions there don't manage to achieve what I think the author was intending.</p>
  <p>Also, I said Discord can't follow redirects, but I could potentially do it server-side, if there is a solution that works.</p>
