[Python] How to download a file from Google Drive using Python and the Drive API v3

I have tried downloading file from Google Drive to my local system using python script but facing a "forbidden" issue while running a Python script. The script is as follows:

import requests

url = "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/1wPxpQwvEEOu9whmVVJA9PzGPM2XvZvhj?alt=media&export=download"

querystring = {"alt":"media","export":"download"}

headers = {
'Authorization': "Bearer TOKEN",

'Host': "www.googleapis.com",
'Accept-Encoding': "gzip, deflate",
'Connection': "keep-alive",
}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.url)
#
import wget
import os
from os.path import expanduser


myhome = expanduser("/home/sunarcgautam/Music")
### set working dir
os.chdir(myhome)

url = "https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files/1wPxpQwvEEOu9whmVVJA9PzGPM2XvZvhj?alt=media&export=download"
print('downloading ...')
wget.download(response.url)


In this script, I have got forbidden issue. Am I doing anything wrong in the script?

I have also tried another script that I found on a Google Developer page, which is as follows:

import auth
import httplib2
SCOPES = "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.scripts"
CLIENT_SECRET_FILE = "client_secret.json"
APPLICATION_NAME = "test_Download"
authInst = auth.auth(SCOPES, CLIENT_SECRET_FILE, APPLICATION_NAME)
credentials = authInst.getCredentials()
http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http())
drive_serivce = discovery.build('drive', 'v3', http=http)

file_id = '1Af6vN0uXj8_qgqac6f23QSAiKYCTu9cA'
request = drive_serivce.files().export_media(fileId=file_id,
mimeType='application/pdf')
fh = io.BytesIO()
downloader = MediaIoBaseDownload(fh, request)
done = False
while done is False:
status, done = downloader.next_chunk()
print ("Download %d%%." % int(status.progress() * 100))


This script gives me a URL mismatch error.

So what should be given for redirect URL in Google console credentials? or any other solution for the issue? Do I have to authorise my Google console app from Google in both the script? If so, what will the process of authorising the app because I haven't found any document regarding that.
