Using BlobMedia to return a file to the front end

[campopianoa]

@shaun and all,

What if the link itself is already present and clicking it generates the data that you want to be downloaded?

I asked a similar question here:

Click link to download file if url is not set beforehand

Hi all, I have a list of names as links in a repeating panel. When I click on a name, I trigger a call to an external API that pulls data associated with that name. I create a media object at that point, but how do I trigger a download of the media after the link has been clicked. I ask because the link’s url is not set beforehand (but rather the data for that name is pulled as needed). Perhaps I am missing something obvious here. Any help is appreciated. Al
