Unable to get a direct download link to Onedrive hosted file

Dhiraj Shetty 10

I have a audio file (hosted on One Drive) which works well (i.e. there is NO file sharing/permission problem here):

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjhwRbsZYQXnyVk-6U_qoRQUcP2b?e=1ofyLY

But this link requires an explicit Download action to download the file. The use case is: I need a direct access link to the file so that I can stream the audio (using the direct-access/download link) to an online audio player. This is a rather simple and basic requirement for any One Drive User.

There was a share API which you could use to get a direct link but they've recently (or maybe a while ago) updated it so that it no longer works. All official responses in other forums have led here but nobody has given an actual fix to it. Not sure what to do at this point.

Hello Sasha, All my existing One Drive Direct download links are no longer working. They were being used to stream the audio contents into an online audio player.

For example:

https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/s!AjhwRbsZYQXnx02O-3b8cV6tHP_s/root/content

https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/s!AjhwRbsZYQXnx31twpI0JV25bnau/root/content

https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/s!AjhwRbsZYQXnx3yMMCzc_hHgicT8/root/content

Can you please redirect me to the person/forum who can raise this concern to appropriate authorities. My website is currently broken due to this!
