Use curl

CAST Extend has a built in API that can be accessed in a manner of ways. It is therefore possible to download extensions using the API, for example with curl:

curl -# -O -J "https://extend.castsoftware.com/api/package/download/<id>/[<version>]" -H "x-nuget-apikey: <my_api_key>" -H "accept: application/octet-stream"

curl option -#	Displays a rudimentary progress bar to show download progress.
curl option -O	Downloads the .nupkg file to the current folder using the file name specified on the Extend server. See https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-O
curl option -J	Tells the -O option to use the server-specified Content-Disposition filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL. See https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-J.
