如何使用 Azure Function 从网站下载文件

Question

I'm not very familiar with Azure functions but am trying to learn and explore how to download files from a website using a time triggered function. I have the following code:

namespace PracticeFunction
{
    public static class PracticeFunction 
    {
        [FunctionName("Function1")]
        public static void Run([TimerTrigger("0 */5 * * * *")]TimerInfo myTimer, ILogger log)
        {
            log.LogInformation($"C# Timer trigger function executed at: {DateTime.Now}");

            using (var client = new WebClient())
            {
                client.DownloadFile("https://examplewebsite.com/file.zip", "zipfile");
            }
        }
    }
}

The function executes 'successfully' but the file doesn't seem to have downloaded anywhere. I am sure I am missing something very obvious but could anyone please point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

client.DownloadFile("https://examplewebsite.com/file.zip", "zipfile");

The file is downloaded in a file named zipfile in your executable's folder, which is probably in your solution folder, in bin and then a couple more folders deep depending on your build configuration.
