## Download a package file from a group
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/225545) in GitLab 13.12.
Download a PyPI package file. The [simple API ](#group-level-simple-api-entry-point )
normally supplies this URL.
```plaintext
GET groups/:id/packages/pypi/files/:sha256/:file_identifier
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ----------------- | ------ | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | string | yes | The ID or full path of the group. |
| `sha256` | string | yes | The PyPI package file's sha256 checksum. |
| `file_identifier` | string | yes | The PyPI package file's name. |
```shell
curl --user < username > :< personal_access_token > "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/packages/pypi/files/5y57017232013c8ac80647f4ca153k3726f6cba62d055cd747844ed95b3c65ff/my.pypi.package-0.0.1.tar.gz"
```
To write the output to a file:
```shell
curl --user < username > :< personal_access_token > "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/packages/pypi/files/5y57017232013c8ac80647f4ca153k3726f6cba62d055cd747844ed95b3c65ff/my.pypi.package-0.0.1.tar.gz" >> my.pypi.package-0.0.1.tar.gz
```
