Answer 1

Mega is encrypted client-side, using js, so your only option might be to use a headless browser like phantomjs . or the provided c++ sdk

Answer 2

This library is deprecated since April 28, 2018, but if you only need download a file still works with python 2.7

You can install it with this command:

pip install mega.py

Here is an example:

from mega import Mega

mega = Mega()

m = mega.login()

m.download_url('https://mega.nz/#!EBZCXCjZ!tCUNt4nempTV9PQi4Rq6RFuDIU8t_87gXdFxJmmqFKo')

Also you can see the project on Github .
