fetch recently download file path

There is no way to know the location of the most recently downloaded file. Browsers typically put them in the Downloads folder by default. If you’re looking for the most recent file in a folder, you will need to write a Python script. Note that you need Python installed on your bot creator and bot runner machines.

Line 1: Assign the search path to a string variable. Make sure to end the path with a \

Line 2: Prepare the Python function. The code is:

import os, glob
def latestFile(path):
	files = glob.glob(path + "*")
	recentFile = max(files, key=os.path.getctime)
	return recentFile

Note: If you want to look for a specific file extension, add it after the * on line 3, like *.xlsx

Line 3. Execute the latestFile() function, passing the search path variable and receiving a string variable containing the latest file.

Line 4: Close Python

Line 5: Display the full path and filename of the most recent file.

If you are downloading using a browser, you will find it quickly by viewing the download.
