I’m not sure about the downloading part, but the reason it never stops is because this test is never true: > if len(response.json()["files"]) == 0: > break Since you are downloading and not removing anything, there’s always going to be files so you will never break out of the while loop. I think you need to get the list of files first, outside of the loop, then loop over that list to download. — David Rock da...@graniteweb.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
