Python: Nessus API not Downloading Report

Question

I need help in downloading the report from Nessus API. In the current scenario, the command is running fine but instead of downloading the report file in csv format, it is throwing all the output in the console.

How can I download and save the file instead of getting the output on the console?

import requests

url = "https://tenable.com/scans/<scan_id>/export/<file_id>/download"

headers = {
    'accept': "application/json",
    'x-apikeys': "accessKey=key;secretKey=key"
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

print(response.text)

Answer 1

save it to a file like this:

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers)

with open('file.pdf', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(response.content)
