Basic file download example

Vote count:

I have been struggling my brain reading the nodejs documentation for google-apis. I gathered a pretty long list of examples, but any of them helps me to do what I want to do. I just want to download a file from my drive using node js.

I have set up the OAUTH and I get an access token using this code (source: http://ift.tt/1rIoqJf )

var googleDrive = require('google-drive');
var GoogleTokenProvider = require("refresh-token").GoogleTokenProvider,
    async = require('async'),
    request = require('request'),
    _accessToken;

var tokenProvider = new GoogleTokenProvider({
  'refresh_token': REFRESH_TOKEN,
  'client_id' : CLIENT_ID,
  'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET
});


tokenProvider.getToken(function(err, access_token) {
  console.log("Access Token=", access_token);
  _accessToken = access_token;
});

But I don't know how to continue from here. I tried with things like this with no luck:

function listFiles(token, callback) {
  googleDrive(token).files().get(callback)
}

function callback(err, response, body) {
  if (err) return console.log('err', err)
  console.log('response', response)
  console.log('body', JSON.parse(body))
}

listFiles(_accessToken,callback);

I feel like I'm very close, but I need some help here.

Thanks in advance.
