Hoping someone can help. Trying to write a script to download the latest version of Microsoft Teams for OS X. Using the following URL in Safari reveals the download location. However, using CURL does not. Anyone have any insight on how to retrieve the download path with CURL?



https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads/DesktopUrl?env=production&plat=osx&arch=64

Try this. It seems to need to be surrounded in double quotes.



echo $(curl -s "https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads/DesktopUrl?env=production&plat=osx&arch=64")


The above produces this for me:



https://statics.teams.microsoft.com/production-osx/1.0.00.14454/Teams_osx.dmg


I can then curl against that to get info on size and other details, or just download it



curl -sI https://statics.teams.microsoft.com/production-osx/1.0.00.14454/Teams_osx.dmg


Putting some of the above together with a few other items



#!/bin/sh



TeamsURL="https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads/DesktopUrl?env=production&plat=osx&arch=64"



## Get the actual download URL

DownloadURL=$(curl -s "$TeamsURL")



## Extract the DMG Name from the path

DMGName="${DownloadURL##*/}"



## Download the DMG into /tmp/

curl -s "$DownloadURL" -o "/tmp/$DMGName"


I'll leave the rest to you to work out how to mount it and install it if that's what you were looking to do.

Now I just feel stupid. Thanks.

Don't forget to check package and app signatures.
