I have been trying to download files from a site that changes the download links after some time. I tried using wget module to download those files. It does work on the direct links to file but it doesn't download files from links that are temporary they change and do not seem to be direct links of the files. I have to use webbrowser module to open those links so it would download those files I want to download those files directly with python 3. My download manager and my browser can download fromm these links how can I do that in python please help

What I have tried:

I have tried various downloading methods using urlib, requests but none worked

You need some way of finding the direct links. Or ask the site owners for help.
