Hi there! Couple of questions for you before we can help you put: - Are you using our Python SDK, if so which version? - Can you download videos in your [frame.io](http://frame.io) account using our web app? - What error are you getting, can you share screenshots? ---

You’re using a key piece of the SDK as a script rather than using the SDK. Those relative imports are what makes the SDK work internally. ---

Here’s a quick sample to get you started! ```auto import os from frameioclient import FrameioClient asset_id = "YOUR_ASSET_ID_HERE" def download_asset( asset_id: str = "", destination: str = "./downloads", ): token = os.getenv("FRAMEIO_TOKEN") client = frameioclient.FrameioClient(token) asset_info = client.assets.get(asset_id) download_stats = client.assets.download( asset_info, destination, multi_part=True, replace=True ) return download_stats if __name__ == " __main__": download_asset(asset_id) ``` ---

Did you supply an actual “FRAMEIO\_TOKEN” you would have gotten from our developer site or did you try to use my code exactly as is? ---

I just redacted your token and we will be revoking it so you will need to make a new one. Please don’t share those publicly as it will give anyone access to your account! Glad to hear you were using token in the right way though 🙂. Having taken a look in our support tool I don’t see a token associated with your email address. Can you send me a direct message on the forum with the email address your token should be associated with so I can check its permissions? ---

Hey, To download a single file, select the three dots … on a clip \> Download \> download the original file or a smaller proxy file [👍](https://editorsmodapk.com/alight-motion-mod-apk-for-ios/) Downloading from within the player page is also an option. Select the three dots… at the top right of the file and select Download. ---

Are there any specific authentication or authorization requirements to access videos on [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) using Python? [🤔](https://ffireapk.com/get-free-fire-diamonds-for-free/) ---

You just need to create a developer token with `asset.read` permissions and then pass that into the `FrameioClient(token="fio-kjslkfjslajfklasjdfklajflkjajflkafjlkajf")` class instance you create. ---

When downloading videos from [Frame.io](http://Frame.io) with Python, I’d recommend checking the official API and authentication requirements first, since access permissions can affect whether a download works. Python libraries such as `requests` can help handle authenticated download requests when you have permission to access the files. For saving RedGIFs content, a separate [redgifs video downloader](https://saveredgif.com/) may also be useful.
