I am solving mongodb tutorials from mongodb university. Their website has a link called "download homework". When I click on the link, nothing gets downloaded, instead the json file intended to be downloaded is displayed on a webpage with url like https://somepath.json.
My question is how to download a json file when you have the URL pointing to it?
First of all, it depends on what operating system you're using.
On Windows
If you right click and press "save" (Alternatively use ctrl-s) and then chose the file format "json" when saving.
On macOS
You can do this in a few ways, I'd suggest using curl. You'd do this by opening the terminal and navigating to the directory you'd like to download the file to. Then enter the following:
curl https://somedomain.com/somepath.json > fileName.json
This will download the file in its original format.
